Voigtländer LTM adapter replacement?

[TobiasL]

I have been looking for Voigtländer LTM adapters for M-mount but it seems like they have been discontinued. Are there any good high quality replacements? I have heard mostly negative about the Chinese ones from Ebay.

I prefer to buy in Europe, if possible, but neither Robert White or Ffordes in the UK had any.

Steve Gandy (yeah, the guy who runs this website) lists the Rayqual on his website for $74 apiece, including a back cap. I have several other Rayqual adapters and they're all excellent quality. (Steve's listing on the website is a bit confusing because it says "made by Voigtländer" ... I'd send him a note.)

You can also find the Rayqual adapters via Ebay and through various other vendors. They make all three types (50-75, 28-90, [24-]35-135; 24 meaning the whole viewfinder on an M9/M type 240 series body).

There are also Novoflex adapters, listed on their site for €84. You usually have to buy them through a national distributor.

Thanks, I will check if I can find these in Europe. I saw the Rayqual adapters on Cameraquest site but shipping and import fees it gets expensive, about $150.

Tobias,

Why not genuine Leitz ones? Try The Real Camera Company in Manchester (google for contact info and ebay page) - they have all sorts of kit, but all used and at reasonable prices.

You must be looking at new items only, then, because Ffordes has a long list of used Voigtlander adapters on offer.
