Here are some rear shots of 3 lenses mounted to the Milich GM adapter. Only the inner surface of the adapter around the rear lens element is exposed.Could somebody put the adapter on the back of a lens, off the camera, and take a picture of the backside?
I think you'd see that with most lenses, the lens mount flange inserts far enough into the adapter that very little of the reflective surface is left exposed. So I'd think there shouldn't be much risk of reflection, except maybe from extremely off-axis light sources. But that's only a theory...
Robert, There is a slot in the adapter and you simply slide the locking pin back toward the camera to release the lock. You can see it in that last photo of the Ultron. It is quite tiny so you need to use your fingernail to hold it back while releasing the lens. A larger pin would have been easier. I've also noticed a slight amount of play when the lens is locked on when focusing the lens, but not enough to interfere with focusing.Carl, how does the lens release work on the Milich M adapter?
:ROTFL: I saw your name on this thread and said to myself did Mike buy a G1 :shocked:Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that only aluminum and aluminum alloys can be anodized.
Eh, no thanks, please.John, could these be done in a chrome finish outside, (...)
by the way, i am developing a new version adressing what concerns have been noted. when they are ready, I will exchange new for old at no cost
please continue to list your concerns...so far:
spring function in M bayonet to fit lenses out of tolerance
aluminum, black anodized for black interior and light weight
slightly larger lens release button
more tolerance on lens detent pin
???

It is interesting Frank that I have the problem with my 50 pre-asph although a different 50 lux also pre-asph late version worked fine. Was yours coded? Mine was but the one that I know does work was not.The m to mFT adapter fits nicely on my 50 pre-asph but won't on my 90AA. Can't get the adpater to turn enough to set the pin. Frank
Here is a comparison of a raw adapter vs. chrome finish. I prefer the chrome.I have the GT version and really like the bronze appearance.
Vivek reminded us when he was doing his custom adapters. It is a small extension tube that has a Leica M mount on either side and by extending allows you to focus closer than the lens states. It was shown to be useful on the G1 because you can see your focus on the live view screen so you don't really need to worry about the focus scale on the lens.being a Leica philistine I had no idea what a OUFRO could possibly be... google gently suggested i may be looking for an afro...
still no idea why you would use an OUFRO... but giggle at the thought of making a lens adaptor to mach you hairstyle
love and peace
