I am fairly certain it does not, from remembering previous posts here, but haven't tested it personally

hi,

a quick question for fellow amedeo fans:

how do you use it for non-50/75mm lenses?
since the M-adapter by amedeo is meant for 50mm

do you use a separate viewfinder for framing ?

I just got my Amadeo adaptor Contax to Leica M. First, it's beautiful. Second, it works for my Sonnar 50/1.5 and it works for my W-Nikkor 35mm/2.5 (I use a CV 35mm finder in the shoe.) I will be using it mostly to make the Sonnar my main 50, continuing to shoot 35mm with my goggled Summaron 2.8. Those two lenses have nearly indistinguishable signatures, to my eye. The Nikkor does make a very nice "walking around" lens on my M3. My tests have been informal and hand-held, I'll be doing more later. I expect the Nikkor to have a small focusing error, but so far, it looks good! I'm really pleased with Amadeo's product and service.

I believe that's true, especially because I nearly always shoot wides at small apertures. It was a VERY pleasant surprise that I could opt for the Nikkor if I wanted to. I like it very much on cloudy days...

I have just got one of the contax to M mount adaptors for a Zeiss ZI and need some advice.

Early on in this thread it says the pre-war contax 13.5cm Sonner 1:4 fits. Mine fits over the adaptor when it is on the camera but does not seem to want to 'twist and lock' on (at least with the amount of force I want to try without confirming I am not doing anything wrong). Can anyone confirm this should work?

My 5cm 1:1.5 Sonner and 8.5cm 1:4 triotar go on fine and appear to focus properly. If it ever stops raining in England I will go out and shoot some film to confirm!

Has anyone tested the Amedeo adapter with the Ricoh GXR or Sony Nex?
