EOS to Leica M adapter



Canon EOS lens rear cap and Leica M body cap were utilized to make up EOS to Leica M adapter compensating flange-back discrepancy, 44,0 mm minus 27,8 mm, establishing 16,2 mm value. Best care was taken to keep the parallelism between the flange surfaces avoiding the deviation of the optical axis, because I want to exclude unnecessary tilting camera effect. Once this adapter is completed, all the EOS mount lenses are capable to set on Leica M9 Digital body with full size format, no stripe moire filter is prepared just in front of the image sensor. EOS Kiss3 silver salt SLR body is used only for a focusing purpose and the body would be replaced into Leica M9 Digital body for full size exposure(SM filter less).
ASAHI PENTAX and SIGMA are also producing striped moire filter less models promptly, but they are not full size but APS-C smaller imaging format.
So, APO Telyt-R 280/2,8 lens would be used on M9 by way of R-EOS adapter and EOS-M adapter, also APO Summicron-R 180/2. As the weight of the lens body is supported by itself on the  tripod, so the physical property of plastic adapter is enough to support the camera body weight without distortion.
I'm looking forward to the completion of this connecting adapter, soon the result would be reported.
