Yes the 85/1.4 works fine too Smile

Anyone know if the C/Y 35/1.4 and 28/2 work on 6D without mirror issues?

Thanks

I don't have either of those but I doubt the 28/2 will work.

Hi all,
Does anyone know if the 1980s versions of the elmarit-R 28mm and the summicron-R 50mm will work on a canon 6d without hitting the mirror? The pebbleplace leica DB seems to suggest they are ok with the canon 5d, but I'm not sure if this can be extrapolated to the 6d as well.
Thanks!

Welcome!
Summicron I think yes , I don't remember too long protrude back.

Send me the lenses and I'll try them Laughing

Seriously though, so far everything that works on my 5D also works on my 6D.

I think that can be subsumed as a general rule.

I have tested 6D with some of my CY lenses with adaptor wihout chip

NOT WORK: 18mm/4, 45mm/2.8

WORKING: 35mm/1.4, 85/1.4, 100-300mm/4.5-5.6

HAVN'T TESTED: 25mm/2.5, 60mm/2.8

maybe you could just measure the distance from the base of the mirror to the front of the housing. Then we could easily infer that everything that works on the 5 will work on the 6?

My two favourite Vario-Sonnars are working fine, as expected (35-70/3.4 and 100-300/4.5-5.6).

Sneaky peak with the 100-300:

I wont to buy canon 6d, so I m interested does some of the lenses hits mirror on this camera:
CZJ Pancolar 50 1.8 M42
Zeiss Planar 1.7 50 Y/C
Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 4 25 M42

The Planar will be fine with a high quality adapter, not sure about the others. If they work on a 5D, they will work on a 6D.

Confirmed non-working lenses

Carl Zeiss Jena Prakticar 35/2.4 MC (PB) - lens will now mount (unlike with the 5D), but mirror hits at all focal lengths


I was just about to pull the trigger on the M42 version of this lens when I stumbled on this thread. Does anyone know if it has mirror clearance issues too?

Also, is there a way of programming the 6D to pass on MF lens info to EXIF as you can with the Nikon D600?

Cheers,

The 35/2.4 Flektogon M42 version is fine. The PB version is a problem because of the mount, not the lens.

You can't program exif for MF lenses unless you buy a programmable EMF adapter. Note, check with the seller whether the EMF adapter will work on a 6D, as my older adapters won't function on it.

Hi All,

My 6D is on the way. What brand c/y-eos adapters do you all have that have found success with? Anybody tried the 60/2.8 s-planar yet?

Thanks


PostPosted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 4:16 am    Post subject: Reply with quote

If my 60/2.8 s-planar will not work on a 6D, then I'll pass on getting one. As it is, I am waiting for a price drop.

agwathome I use Big-Is c/y-eos adapter from ebay and I m really satisfied whit it.


PostPosted: Tue Jun 11, 2013 5:43 pm    Post subject: Reply with quote

I've always found the adapters from seller tesarphoto to be of high quality. My big_is adapter broke and damaged the Planar 50/1.4 attached to it Sad

Tesarphoto hasn't got any on sale at the moment, but they look like this:

This like look nice adapters. Big-is is nice low quality adapter. Usually better quality adapters for c/y have aditional spring-plate that secure lens to not moving

Leica Elmarit-R 28mm 2.8 E55 version does not work on Canon 6D. I tried, but at focusing distances above 1.2 meters it hits the mirror.

Damn! Elmarit 28/2.8 was in my wish list after camera upgrade... I thought all Leica-R lenses were ok with EOS-FF...

My C/Y 28/2 AEG and 135/2 AEG work on the 6D via a cheap Fotodiox adapter.

But my 50/1.4 AEJ and 35/1.4 AEG do not... the mirror gets locked up.

This is quite frustrating. Just as frustrating is that I've bought some Leitax adapters for these lenses, but in both one of the 3 screws on the bayonet is impossible to remove and so I can't use the Leitax. I am worried about stripping the screw also.

I bought a new #00 screwdriver to try. If this doesn't work, does anyone have any ideas?

Also, how exactly does one "shave" the mirror of the 6D? Any instructions online?

Edit: I managed to mount the Leitax on the 35/1.4 (simply by not screwing one of the screws), and now it works on the 6D.

I tried the same on the 50/1.4, which did not work still.

Try a better quality adapter, the 50/1.4 AE should work fine.
