[Leica] Leica M mount lens for Canon EF mount camera bodies?

[Susan Ryan]

No mirrorless, alas....

Thanks for all this information. It explains why I can’t find such an adapter.

> Sorry, Susan, it will not work..... The distance from the lens mount to the "film" in the M cameras is 27.95mm.  The distance for the regular old SLR type EOS mount is 44mm.  What that means is that your Leica lenses will be further away from the film than in an M body... which means you will only be able to shoot Macro type stuff..... without some form of lens in the adapter....... which may exist..... I am not sure....and ebay ( the all old things used database folk) have none listed.

We do quite a bit of wider angle shots for ‘storytelling’ images. I don’t want buy another lens. I’m looking for an adapter ring for my 35mm Summilux. Does anyone have any recommendations?
