Does this adapter detach from the lens easily? Is it practical to switch freqently between Leica and E-Mount cameras with my Leica lenses?

I don't have M mount lens so far. But I bought M to R adapter to mate it for R lens. Both adapters mated very firm and tight. They can seperate easily.

The adapter attaches and detaches easily, and yes you can switch easily between Leica and E-mount lenses, but as for me I think I will do so infrequently. My 40mm Leica SUMICRON becomes approximately 60 mm when mounted on a Sony NEX 6. More importantly you will lose lens stabilization in the process. Sony stabilization is in the lens, not the body. I found the SUMICRON and Sony G zoom lenses equally sharp, although the Sony produced slightly more vivid photos, which of course can also be corrected in settings or in Photoshop.

Yes. It functions easily. I use both the Leica and the Sony lenses. If you use Leica lenses, be sure and go to the "Disable" setting in the menu.

The adapter works very well and is easily attached and detached. My only reservation is that my prized Leica SUMICRON 50 mm lens was not sharper on my Sony NEX6 than the 16-55 kit lens. Both are very sharp.

The detachment is not as buttery smooth as how the adapter interacts with the camera body. Besides, the play between the lens and adapter seems to "grow" after a few times of mounting and dismounting. So to me the answer to your question is no. Each of my Leica-M has its own adapter which enables me to mount and dismount a lens quicker. You can shop around for E-Mount rear lens caps. I bought a set of 3 for very little $.

The adapter I have was very tight at first. I removed the assembly from the camera and had to use a considerable amount of force to get it to come off the first lens I put it on. Just MAKE SURE the small release pin on the side is pulled back (to release the locking pin) before trying to rotate the adapter when removing it. Be careful not to damage your lens. Best of luck.

On my lens there is a ridged release button on the lens just next to where the red line-up dot is on the adapter. Push down on the button and turn the adapter. It should come right off.

There is a button on the side of the-adapter, you need to pull out or push in to un mount the lens

I too have not been able to find an adapter for Leica to Nikon. Nothing is impossible, but most improbable. Good luck.

Hi the one I got actually got stuck in the camera and didn't fit right. We had to break the adapter ring to get it out and it almost damaged the lens.

I don't know if it will work with the SL1 side of the adapter, it's specific to M. But it's supposed to work for all EF and EFS lenses. Hope that helps.

Hi, though the adapter should work fine I would recommend purchasing one of higher quality; I bought this adapter and after about four months of relatively heavy use it started to fall apart. Specifically, the locking mechanism on the lens to adapter side sometimes disengages and the adapter ring has now begun to separate into two parts, the result of which is that the lens can sit at an angle from the camera body if not propped up with a finger. However, if you're looking to save money the latter problem could possibly be remedied by using a tiny screwdriver for eyeglasses, though I'm not sure as I have not yet tried.

I cut it to my longest lens. And it works great on all the lenses. Super easy to swap. I keep it in my camera bag and toss it on whatever lens I use.

Assuming that the lens in question has a Leica M mount, the adapter should work.

Yes, it works, but so should your other one. You might need to bend one of the metal bits in your other adapter a little bit to make sure it is depressing the silver button in the lens mount that tells the camera a lens is attached. Try that out before putting down money on another adapter, the manufacturing tolerances for these cheap adapters aren't as reliable as we would like, but it should be easy enough to tweak it into working.

Not bad to me :-)I mostly use MF lenses adapter on it and the peak value is very useful!

There's a little tab that locks the adapter onto the lens. You can see it engaging if you look while connecting the adapter to the lens. The first time I tried to connect, I bent the tab trying to force the adapter and the lens wouldn't lock. I had to bend the tab upward with pliers so it would engage the lens. It was all good news from there.

Dear John;I am going to modify my statement slightly. I have four different cameras and buy a great amount of attachments for them and may have bought the adapters separately. I frequently switch eye pieces etc from one to another I do not want to worry about if it is the exact one for the camera and so have many adapters for a verity of attachments.I still believe you will not have any problem.Randy

This works very well for me. I have 2 of them. I keep one screwed into my camera body and into the Tripod ring on my 100-400. This way I never have to remove them. I have been using them for about 2 years now and have never had them come loose. The biggest key is to get the lock washer in place correctly. It is a really tight fit. I had to use a needle nose pliers to do it. Hope this helps.

Product description: Allows Canon EF and EF-S lenses to be mounted on the Canon EOS M digital camera. Fully compatible with all lens functions including image stabilization and autofocus. "Detachable tripod adapter provides support for longer Canon lenses." The answer is, yes! There's a screw you loosen and it comes right off.

My lens locks in, the little silver button on the slide clicks forward when the lens is locked, and you must push that button back to be able to twist the lens to remove it. This is if you are talking about the lens locking to the adaptor. Instead, if you are talking about the adaptor locking to the camera, if you turn it the wrong way, you can turn it around and around in the mount without it locking in. That is just a question of turning the right direction. I've had the mount for a year, use it heavily, and it works perfectly for me. I use it with two Nikon lens.
