Descripition:
With the aid of this lens mount adapter you are able to attach your Leica R-lenses to every camera body with a FourThirds mount. That includes the camera brands Olympus, Panasonic and Leica.
Old manual lenses are best suited for mounting on modern digital camera. The advantage of old lenses are that you can adjust the aperture and focussing manually, which is not always possible with new lenses. Manual lenses are smaller and easier to handle as they do not have built-in motors. Most are cheaper than autofocus lenses.

Leica R-lenses have a larger flange register than the FourThirds bodies. The adapter ring compensates the difference between the flange register of the camera and the flange register of the lens. So that the infinity focus stays intact.
The lens mount adapter is very robust and holds up heavy lenses. The adapter is easy to screw on and off of the bayonet connection. Due to the precise workmanship the lens mount adapter fits perfectly on the bayonet connection so it is dust-proof.
