Works As It Should

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2019

I agree with the earlier reviewers: it's easy to mount and unmount Nikon lenses; it's easy to fit and remove this on the Leica.

I tested it with an M240, and compared three lenses: the Leica 130 Tele Elmar; the classic Nikkor 105 f2.5, and a Nikon kit 28-80 zoom. With the last two I had to use live view and an EVF for focus.

All three allowed me to choose my aperture manually, and all three gave me very useable files. If you're thinking of purchasing, this is a safe and inexpensive way to mount Nikon lenses on a Leica M. Pixel-peeping, the Leica lens and the classic Nikkor produced very similar and very high quality results; the kit lens gave lesser quality, but still useable results.

The best Leica lenses are world-class, so why did I buy a Nikon adapter? First, there are no M-mount zoom lenses. Second, you can buy the superb classic Nikkor 105mm for about $100 used; the Leica Elmarit 90mm cost me about $1200. So I can definitely see a real value in purchasing this adapter.

Now let’s see — which Nikon zoom should I buy? It’ll be fun deciding!

Cannot forced to infinity.

Focus beyond infinity once lends focus ring spin to the end.

Very Solid lens mount adapter for my Leica M246

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2018

Size: Nikon-L/MVerified Purchase

I ordered a different more expensive adapter that was rubbish and I ended up returning it.
This adapter works perfectly. Sturdy construction an Solid click when attaching lens and adapter to my Leica M246. Easy and fast Lens removal. I'm very happy with this product!

Fun option - can connect my full frame Nikon lens to my Leica M

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

Unfortunately, this will not let you control/adjust the aperture on lenses without an aperture dial. It's basically a plug-on mount for standard Nikon F mount lenses for Leica M.

It works great, fits perfectly. Easy to install and remove. If you have Live View on your digital M, you can focus pretty well. But if you have a lens without an aperture dial, you're stuck at the smallest aperture.

Good tight fit with nice material

I’ve used some other brands of no name adapters. This is the best. Nice fit, good workmanship, great price.

Not a useful product for Leica M/Does not couple with the Rangefinder

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2023

Size: Nikon-L/MVerified Purchase

This does not couple with the Leica M rangefinder. You cannot focus it properly other than using live view on the M digital cameras. I did not realize this until I mounted it on my Leica M10R with a Nikon 85mm lens. I am going to return it.

I lost my original Novoflex adaptor and wanted to replace it when I saw this adaptor in Amazon and thought I give it a try and was very impressed with the quality f this item specially considering the price difference and all the savings it got me.

High quality coupling of NIKON lenses to Leica CL

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2020

Size: Nikon-L/MVerified Purchase

I have many of this quality coupler for all my NIKON F lenses from 1960s to mount on my Leitz CL:
e.g., f 1.4 50mm; 55mm & 105mm Micro Nikkor; 200mm Nikkor;
Nikon zoom. With these adapters. For example the 105mm Micro Nikkor 2.8
is the equivalent of 155mm lens on CL; the 200mm Nikkor => 300mm.
the 50mm f1.4 => f 1.4 80mm. The all the above lenses cost less than my
CL Leica 35mm f1.4 Summilux T.
Waste not want not as Ben Franklin preached.
