I get the Kipon Leica M to E focusing helicoid adapter but I found my China made LTM to M mount adapter does not perfectly fit into my Lecia M adapter. The LTM to M mount adapter wobbles in the M mount helicoid. I think this may be caused by the poor quality of the LTM to M mount adapter. Anyone here try stacking the genuine Lecia LTM or Voigtlander LTM to M adapter with a Lecia M mount to NEX/m4/3 adapter?

Thanks,

I tried both Voigtländer and cheap chinese on adapters and had the opposite problem with both - LTM/L-M Adapter was extremly tight on Leica-M - NEX macro focusing and other adapters (hard to lock in and very hard to remove)

I guess the problem isn't the LTM/Leica M adapter

Do you have any native Leica M lenses? Do they also wobble around?

I think so. My cheap LTM ring wobbles on another cheap Leica-M - NEX macro focusing adapter so I think the problem is on the LTM/Leica M adapter. I do not have any native M lens now but I will try to find any other LTM/Leica M adapter to check.

Thanks for your help!

I only have cheapo adapters, made in HongKong.

LTM-M, M-NEX, LTM-NEX ... none of them causes any problems!

The new cheapo adapters are all made in China.

I bring my adapter to a camera accessories shop and bought one LTM-M fit perfectly to my helicoid adapter. Now, my jupiter-8 can be focused down to about 0.4 meters. Smile
