Leica Elmarit 28mm
A look at what is currently available on eBay
What adapter should I buy for Leica 28mm Elmarit lens for canon 5D mark ii?
I have plan to purchase Leica 28mm Elmarit Lens f 2.8 and use it on my Caon 5d Mark ii. What adapter do I have to buy?
Thank you in advance.
Whoa Nellie!!!!! That's a Leica "M-mount" lens intended for Leica rangefinder type cameras. To my knowledge, there are no adapters and even if you could get this to work, the mounting flange distance on the EOS camera is significantly greater than that of Leica M-mount cameras. This means you'd not only lose the ability to focus to infinity, you might not be able to focus more than a few inches foward of the lens.
The old Leica R-mount lenses for their 35mm, R-series SLRs can readily be adapted to EOS camera via the one in the link already posted or those sold by Novoflex. I have used Leica R-mount lenses on my own 5DmkII but, there was so little benefit to using them that I've since gone back to using Canon glass almost exclusively. There's also the issue that the cost of a solid Leica lens and an adapter can be just as expensive (sometimes more so) as using Canon's own L-series glass but, you give up autofocus and most metering functions to do it. It's just rare that I've seen a third party produce a lens that was so good, I was willing to frankenstein my camera to use it. In fact the lone exception in my bag today is a Nikon 14-24mm f/2,8 that I've borrowed from a friend for experimentation.
