I am interested in technical details about this topic.
Is there any user here with a Nikon F mount lens, converted to Leica M with rangefinder coupling?
Is there even a mad scientist, who has undertaken such an operation?
What are the technical details regarding the coupling?
Are there even adaptors on the marked, that could be used as a base, to employ a coupling with respective gear for the individual lens rear group movement during focussing?
For your interest - my sparkling interest in this topic stems from a newly acquired Nikon 58 Noct-Nikkor, which is simply marvelous in its own right.
The only issue, I have with this beautiful lens is the camera system, attached to the rear of the lens (read manual focussing system with a ground glass).
I am not the one, who will destroy this expensive lens in my downstairs laboratory, but would like, to learn one or the other technical detail about it.
So, shoot please …
personal notepad:
- 50mm focal length for 1:1 rangefinder movement: "Leica standard: nominal 51.6mm" (thanks Brian)
