Leica Lenes on a Voigtlander body?

[eric23]

Hi Guys,

I just have a few quick questions;

1. can you use Leica M mount lenses (the new ones) on a Voigtlander body?

2. Do you need an adapter for Leica lenses?

3.Do Leica lenses work as goos as Voigtlander lens on there bodys?

Thanks for the help,

Eric

Hi and welcome.

1. yes
2. no, not the M mount lenses. the older screw mount lenses called LTM or SM mount do require a SM to M adapter to work on any M mount body.
3. It depends what you mean by "good". If you mean function well, then yes, they function very well on any M mount body.

You should find loads of info on these things at cameraquest.

Good cheer,

Thomas

No problems, just mount and shoot away, my 50 some year old elmar works fine on my couple some year old bessa.
