A new toy arrived today. A PIXCO Macro AF Confirm M39 Lens to Canon EOS EF Adapter. The adapter will allow you to attach Leica Thread Mount lenses to Canon EF mount cameras.

Due to the difference in focal registration, the mount essentially becomes an extension tube, meaning all the lenses become macro lenses, and will NOT focus to infinity.

When I get a chance to play with it some more, I'll post some pictures. But some ballpark measurements with my old Canon LTM lenses on my daughter's 60D:
  • Canon 28mm f3.5
    • Lens focused to Infinity
      • Focus occurs at ~5"
      • Width of image covered: ~1.5"
    • Minimum focus
      • Focus occurs at ~4.75"
      • Width of image covered: ~1.375"
  • Canon 50mm f1.8
    • Infinity
      • Actual ~10.75"
      • Image width 2.625"
    • Minimum
      • Actual ~10"
      • Image width ~2.25"
  • Canon 85mm f1.9
    • Infinity
      • Actual ~23.5"
      • Image width ~4.25"
    • Minimum
      • Actual ~18"
      • Image width 2.875"
  • Canon 100mm f3.5
    • Infinity
      • Actual ~31.75"
      • Image width ~5.125"
    • Minimum
      • Actual ~22.5"
      • Image width ~3"
  • Canon 135mm f3.5
    • Infinity
      • Actual ~53"
      • Image width ~6.75"
    • Minimum
      • Actual 35"
      • Image width ~3.625"
All distances were from the object to the focal plane mark on camera (The sensor), with the closest separation between the lens and the focus point of 2" - occurring with the 28mm lens set to minimum focus distance.

Lighting wasn't the best for my quick tests, so the camera used ISO 6400 for many of the images - Fairly noisy.
