Chinese M adapter

[Dez]

Has anyone tried these cheap Chinese LTM-M adapters?

There is a picture showing one used on a CV Nokton 50 lens, and a strange statement that the adapter does no do RF coupling (??)
That's a strange thing to say, as no LTM-M adapter does RF coupling. I emailed them a question asking them to clarify.

Cheers,
Dez

Don't know about the adapter, but I bought various accessory's from this seller for at least five times by now and I was always satisfied.

A frequent advice is to avoid no-name adapters, which are manufactured with undetermined factory tolerance.

Good mounts and they stand behind their products.

I think all my ltm-> M adapters are no name adapters, never a problem for me, save some issues every now and then with there not being cutouts for infinity locks. Other than that, Heavystar is pretty solid with everything they make

I always got the very cheap adaptors, never a problem.

I use something similar from them on my GXR for L39 glass. No problems, but then, no rangefinder coupling either. I think I also got my FD/LM adapter from them as well.

Count me in on the never had a problem side.

The only annoying thing, which I have noticed on a few (I've owned tons of these as they are cheap enough I often include one with a lens if I'm selling a LTM lens) is that the threads aren't aligned to stop all that well. Now this may be a common thing across all adapters (Leica, Voigtlander etc) where the lens doesn't stop in the 12 o'clock position. It is usually around 11 with some of the cheaper adapters.

They're better than my old Leitz ditto which never locks in place...
