I have put up some tests shots with the 180/2 and 280/4 (with and without the 1.4X APO converter). When my 3 cam 280/4 is used with the 1.4x converter, I can focus to and past infinity - so I am a very happy bunny. There is just a small amount of vignetting in the corners, but that doesn?t bother me at all. I have posted the test shots on the LUF website here. http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-s-typ-006-s2-forum/344168-lei-ko-r-lens-s-adapter.html Best wishes, Charlie On 28 Aug 2014, at 17:47, grduprey at mchsi.com wrote: > Do the lenses cover the full format of the S2? > > Gene > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Doug Herr" <wildlightphoto at earthlink.net> > To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> > Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 11:40:00 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central > Subject: Re: [Leica] Lei-ko R lens to S body adapter ring > > Charlie Chan wrote: > >>>> > This is for those, who would love to use some of their R lenses on a new S > (006) or S2 body.
