Adapated Leica lenses on X-T series

[Franky2step]

Has anyone been shooting Leica glass on their X-T1, T2, T10, T20? If so, are you using Fuji's own adapter and which lenses, and how are your results?

I bought 2 different adapters, a Dollice and a Fotasy - the cheapest ones on Amazon. They both work perfectly adapting Cron 50, Cron-c 40, Elmarit-c 90, Summarit 35/2.4 and Summaron 35 to my XT1. Focus peaking works great, allowing me to get the Leica look on my Fuji.

I'd recommend to consider helicoid (close focus) adapters. They are larger but allow to focus closer on lens, that are typically have 0.7m or 0.9m closest focus.

Helicoid adapters for M Leica to Fuji X are all very expensive but then again if you are into Leicas you probably don’t care about the price of an adapter!

Hawks leica helicoid. It does make a difference for close focusing. You will use it.
