How to shoot Leica on a Micro 4/3 camera
Video Details
We were asked whether one could shoot Leica on a budget. The answer is "yes", kinda. We take a look at an adaptor made for the Micro 4/3 cameras like the E-P1, E-P2, E-PL1 and GF1 and try out some Leica M lenses to see whether they really can work together well. More

They have the m39 mount and they will work with an adapter as well. The lenses for that mount are much cheaper (starting from 25 on ebay)

wow the interlacing is really bad on the camera used to record.

or 42, sorry
rhinonose Says:
what do you think about soviet FED and ZORKI cameras as an alternative? (for film obviously) they're leica clones and usually have either a 39 m mount
Kennykentaro Says:
I can't find the adapter from the digital rev website....

@CalebFilmsPresent I believe it will be a disaster. Anyway, like Kai said, leica glass are made for 35mm format.

Well, not with Leica M lens, not possible. Actually Nikkor lens are one of best, so if I were Nikon user I wouldnt bother much with anything else. But if I would be lets say Canon shooter, I would probably get Zeiss lens. :) Today ZF.2 or ZE lens have automatic aperture so only thing you need to do manualy is focus. And yes, image quality is far better than most Canon lens (most of the time, even Nikons, but that applies usually when you have D3 or D700).

leica lens +D7000 what will happen?

The great thing about M4/3 is that there is a great range of adapters out there and a mass of used decent condition budget lenses available on ebay and similar auction sites. I picked up a Tefnon 28mm f2.8 Prime from ebay in a Konica mount and a 50mm f1.8 Konica prime with the same mount. Even with an adapter from Hong Kong I have ended up with a few really nice lenses mounted for under a £100 in total. So even if your purse cannot stretch to Leica or Voigtlander prices you can experiment.

PanaLeica 25mm f1.4 Does IQ compares to SLR equiv?
minutes2midnite Says:
m4/3 by a long shot. the only drawback is that it is more expensive and in most circumstances, less portable.

Your reviews are always the best, this one among them! Did you get splashed by that white sedan at the end of the review?
