leica 35mm f/2.8 elmarit-r

PostThu Dec 20, 2012 1:55 am

I've acquired a Leica/Leitz 35mm Elmarit-R 3CAM with a Leitax adaptor for use on Canon EOS cameras with programmable Dandelion chip already attached.

However, I am interested in purchasing a Blackmagic Cinema Camera MFT. Will I need an additional adapter for a Blackmagic Cinema Camera MFT or is it compatible with the lens current adapter attached? If not, what adaptor will I need?

Thanx!

What type of mount is this lens? M-Mount or R-Mount?

Please work with me I am learning as I go. I am also going to go with EF instead because I am interested in getting an EF lens.

your lens is all ready to be put on an EF mount camera. as listed in the ebay page:

"Has a Leitax adapter w/Dandelion chip for EOS, Digital, Film"

The leitax adapters are extremely high quality and rock solid. this lens will be pretty great as well. a lot of the footage JB posted he said he shot with the leica r 35 f/2 which is basically the same lens, just a bit faster
