Camera Lens Adapter Novoflex Leica R to Leica M

The Novoflex Leica R to Leica M camera lens adapter enables the use of Leica R-mount lenses on Leica M-mount cameras. Constructed with precision engineering and a robust black finish, the adapter preserves correct flange distance and supports accurate focusing while maintaining the optical characteristics of the attached lens. It is designed for photographers who want to expand lens compatibility without altering existing camera bodies.

Advantages

The adapter provides a secure mechanical connection between Leica R lenses and Leica M bodies, ensuring stable mounting and repeatable results. Its precision-machined surfaces minimize play and maintain optical alignment, and the durable finish resists wear from regular use. By preserving the correct registration, the adapter helps retain image circle coverage and focus accuracy of legacy Leica R optics when used on rangefinder-style M cameras.

Key specifications

• Mount conversion: Leica R lens to Leica M camera
• Material: precision-machined metal construction for stable fit
• Finish: black, wear-resistant surface
• Compatibility: supports manual aperture control and manual focus of mounted lenses
• Weight: lightweight design for minimal added load on camera

How to use

Attach the adapter to the Leica M camera body according to the camera's mount alignment marks, then mount the Leica R lens onto the adapter until it locks securely. Use manual focus and, if necessary, set the lens aperture on the lens itself; the adapter does not provide electronic communication or autofocus. Check focus and framing through the camera viewfinder or live view and make exposure adjustments manually or using camera metering as appropriate.

Recommendations

For best results, ensure lens and adapter contact surfaces are clean and free of debris before mounting. When using heavy lenses, support the lens to avoid strain on the camera mount. Be aware that some features such as autofocus, electronic aperture control, or automatic EXIF transmission will not be available; confirm manual control workflows before critical shoots.
