Does anyone have one of these for sale? is anyone using them on their Nikon rangefinder cameras or the Voigtlander R2S? This ring is for mounting Voigtlander 12mm and 15mm SL Lenses on Nikon rangefinder and Voigtlander R2S Cameras. Some of the Nikon F Lenses can also be mounted.
 
the F SC adapters are very hard to find. the factory sold out about a year ago. the F-L adapters to Leica mount are still available.

An evilBay-seller "hassileic09" from Bissendorf Deutschland offers such an adapter, starting bid EUR 120,-- (!)
Although he doesn't want to ship to other destinations than Djarmonnaye, I post the item's number: 220568469871
 
F-S adapter

I wonder in Amadeo could be persuaded to put his excellent skills and lathe to the task of making a few.

I for one would be interested in a 15mm for my SP.

I mixed up, sorry for that.
concerning his Feedback score: 5012, zuci63 is much more less hidden than you, Stefano ;-)

Please, let also me be informed about your plans with your lathe -- what about a rangefinder coupled adapter? -- cf. ebay item 300380319465.
 
Alexander..
279,99 USD for using pentax K lens on Leica M.
I thinks this is money trought out of the windows!!!
If you intend a Nikon F coupler adapter on Nikon S......
i think is virtually impossible to make.

Let me know when you have it ready for production.
Saving already!!
 
Hi,
I'm interested also if you want to make an adapter. I want to adapt the 15mm Voigtlander to my SP.

It seems apparent from the responses here that there are a number of people who would gladly pay for an adapter, and it baffles me why Mr K. isn't listening. I'd bet that the original adapters were probably farmed out to a supplier who likely still has all the specs and could make more as required, rather than having Steve start from scratch to machine them.
Asking for a deposit or even all the money up front (to determine number required and how serious the buyers were) would eliminate Cosina's risk of getting stuck with unsellable pieces.
If they haven't already done so, it would be taken as a great favour if Steve Gandy, Tom Abrahamsson or perhaps Fred could speak to Mr. K. in hopes of convincing him to do something nice for the Nikon rangefinder crowd. Or give me his address, and I'll ask him myself.

While you're at it ask Nikon to start production of the 2.1cm f/4 in s-mount and for Leica to sell the M9 for $1300. I think we're lucky Mr. K ever made this in the first place. Bjørn Rørslett managed to make his own. I'm not sure why he doesn't sell them.

Apparently you haven't got one either, so why be such a Smartass?
If this came to fruition you would also benefit.

I do have one, but I'd love for them to be easier to find, I just think it is a bit ridiculous to expect Mr. K to make what 50 more of these to meet demand? He probably didn't hardly break even on the first batch.

Through this entire discussion, the only person not heard from is Mr. K.
So why are you so quick to assume this or that?
All the adapters were sold, so It's likely that he broke even on that part of the CV Nikon/Contax experiment at least.
No one here has made any demands regarding price, so he could very well say that he wants this or that many dollars to make up 50 more and then depending on whether enough of us give him a deposit or the entire cost, decide to make them or not.
But we'll never know unless we ask, will we?

Apologize me but your English is too difficult for me so, although I was called into question i decided to not participate in this interesting debate, i will may give opinions or answers other than what I'm thinking.
jonmanjiro such understand exactly what I'm saying,:D my native language is the opposite of yours, and I often think the same things that you think, but I write exactly the opposite:bang:
My intention is to have finally in my hand an FS CV original adapter, and try to make one better than my previous, I have already made similar adapter to fs adaper as the one by Bjørn Rørslett and I've sold 2, I forget who, also on RFF, with full satisfaction of the buyer, I hope.:)
For those who are interesting on know to further developments of my work, as soon as I get the adapter FS CV I sit at work, can leave me a mp with his mail, I hope to retrieve all quickly.
If in the meantime, Mr. K will start production again I will be happy to turn off the lathe and buy another pair of original FS adapter ....:D
 
Stef,
you made them, i'll want one at least, if Mr. K-San does it I'll buy another from him too...

everybody happy now.
