The Leitax adapters are a good solution for converting R lenses to a nikon mount . You can review the process for each specific lens on the leitax website . Some lenses are easier than others .how difficult is it to adapt Leica R lenses to fit a Nikon D800 camera and is the quality that much better than nikon lenses, in terms of edge to edge sharpness. I am specifically interested in wide angle landscape work
I found the quality of the Leitax kits to be excellent.I've not used them but Leitax makes adapters and they have a very good reputation. Www.leitax.com.
PGMJ how good is the 35-70 4. Is it ease to Leitax yourself? ACHI also have good experience with Leitax, including sending ROM zoom lenses (35-70/4 and 80-200/4) for conversion. It took a while to get the lenses converted, but they work well.
Sorry for the late reply. I sent my lenses to Leitax in Spain for conversion. There were no instructions available at the time.PGMJ how good is the 35-70 4. Is it ease to Leitax yourself? ACH
Are you certain that there is a real difference in corner sharpness at 35mm? The MTF charts indicate fall-off in both lenses at about 18-19mm from image center. I only have f/4 data for the Elmar, while the Elmarit is at f/5.6. The Elmar seems to improve a bit stopped down.If you want corner to corner sharpness at wider apertures, then you must look for the Vario-Elmarit version of this lens, not the older Vario-Elmar. The Vario-Elmarit is a f/2.8 lens, whereas the Vario-Elmar is a f/4 lens. More details about the Vario-Elmarit can be found here: www.overgaard.dk/pdf/leica_35-70_f28_zoom_ASPH.pdf
