Need help! FotoDiox adapters

[ScottAlexander]

I have recently (this morning) started looking at Fotodiox lens adapters, and have some questions aimed at anyone who have used them.

Specifically, I am looking to mount my M glass on my Nikon DSLR system, but would love any advise, links, or help that can be offered. Thanks!

Bad idea. From what I understand the flange distance for Nikon is way longer than Leica so any adapter you try to use will need to use glass to compensate for this and all adapters use really low quality glass. So you can only really use Nikon glass on Nikons (they have the longest flange distance of almost any camera company), however you could use Nikon glass on a Leica

M-lenses will only work as macro lenses on an SLR as well.

Awesome. Those two helpful replies saved me $80.. haha

Thanks for the posts guys. If anyone has any other first hand experiences, still interested in hearing them 🙂

"rare Exceptions", Long focal length Leica M lenses with detachable heads. The early Summicron 9cm F2, 9cm Elmar, 13.5cm Hektar, some others "could be" adapted with some hacking.
