Nikon S and Leica/Voigtlander Lenses

[whitecat]

I know there is a way to use Nikon Lenses on Leica but what about the other way around? Possible? Also when you buy a Voigtlander lens like a 12mm or 15mm is there an adapter for Nikon like for the M Leicas, or are they specifically Nikon S mount?
Thanks,

No, because Nikon RF (& Contax RF) bodies are thicker than Leica bodies (LTM or M), you can't go in the other direction if you want to maintain the full focus range. Cosina Voigtlander made several wide angles (21mm, 25mm, 28mm, & 35mm), but no superwides, in the Nikon/Contax RF mount; while they are no longer made, many CV dealers (like Stephen Gandy's Cameraquest: http://www.cameraquest.com/inventor.htm ) still have some in stock. CV also made a 12mm & 15mm lens for Nikon F (SLR) mount w/the mirror locked up, but you can get a CV F-S adapter to mount them on a Nikon RF (http://www.cameraquest.com/VCSL1215.htm ).

I use a CV 25/4 SC mount on my Nikon S and love it. There are other third party lenses that were made for the Nikon mount, but they are hard to find and as CV wides are world class and Nikon telephotos are not hard to come by, I question if they are worth the effort to find.

But you can't buy the adapter anymore because it is SOLD OUT!🙁
