I'm getting an M3, BUT which adapter for LTM?

[michael_barnes5]

<p>Jeeze, didn't realize how expensive these things are :(.<br>

OK so I want to mount these lenses: Canon 50mm f1.5, Canon 50mm f1.8, Nikkor 50mm f1.4.<br>

I'm most likely going CV or Leica but I have also considered metabones (Chinese ones made of brass). Going Chinese seems to be a hit/miss so paying the premium for CV/Leica seems like a better idea. <br>

My questions:<br>

1) Anyone have any issues with the type II adapters from CV? Apparently they do not work with SOME 50mm lenses, so I'm not sure if they will work with mine? type I is what I want but they're apparently discontinued? It would seem like a strange move to me, if they didn't work because these lenses that I mentioned seem pretty mainsteam.<br>

2) Any bad experienced with metabones or CV?</p>

<p>CV adaptors has served me well. I have one on each of my 3 LTM lenses.<br>

If you only use your M3 with 50mm LTM lenses, then I would suggest get one Leica branded adapter and use the M3 as a LTM body.</p>

<p>You want an adapter with the longer cut-out along the edge that provides clearance for the infinity latch when pushed in.<br>

Any adapter that is exactly 1mm thick should work fine. But if you don't have the tools to verify that, buy a reputable brand like Leitz or CV.</p>

<p>+1 for CV. The are machined very well and have worked great for me.</p>

<p>I have two (and had a third) from www.fedka.com. They cost only a shade less than C-V ones but they work perfectly <em>and</em> can take lenses with infinity locks.</p>
