[Leica] Nikon lens to SL body adapter that is AF compatible

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

Many Nikor Dx 1.5 crop lenses it seems has a ton of extra coverage and do also cover a full 24x36 image circle. What the specs are in that outer area are I don?t know but they look good to me big on my 27 inch screen here; soon to be printed 17x22 on my new printer.

    Someone did tests with a large sensor and found that many lenses came close.  Due to the mirror in the S the shortest I have tried is the 80/1.4 at close distance and it was not too bad.  The main lenses I have are long focal length and they cover the sensor fine....

    Out of curiosity, John, do they cover the sensor, or go dark in the corners?  I've always suspected that many R lenses had extra coverage area.

    > I?d like to know as I do now  if I can use the lens with the camera set to full frame the glass often covers and nobody complains. I do this all the time with my 12-24 f4 zoom. It just works full frame except all the way to 12. It?s like almost having an 18-35 lens.
