Shoten Kobo Co., Ltd. will release the SHOTEN brand mount adapters “M42-LM R50” and “PK-LM R50” on July 7, 2023. Both are priced at 28,000 JPY (tax included).
These are rangefinder-coupled M mount adapters. When paired with a 50mm focal length lens, they enable rangefinder-coupled shooting on Leica M mount rangefinder cameras. Two versions are available: one for M42 (with aperture coupling pin depression function) and one for Pentax K (not compatible with DA lenses).
For rangefinder-coupled shooting, set the lens focus ring to infinity and use the adapter’s focus ring for focusing. For live view shooting, the built-in helicoid on the adapter allows for close focusing.
Key Features of the New Products
- Compatible with rangefinder coupling on M mount cameras (for 50mm focal length lenses only)
- When focusing via live view, the helicoid enables a shorter minimum focusing distance
- Fine adjustment of the rangefinder coupling mechanism is possible
- Durable brass mount components are used on both the lens and camera body sides
