Product Information

Full details

This Urth Lens Mount Adapter allows photographers to combine Leica R mount lenses with Canon EF/EF-S mount cameras, unlocking new creative possibilities. Its primary benefit is enabling the use of a vast array of vintage or specialized Leica R lenses on modern Canon bodies. A key caveat is that it's a manual adapter, requiring manual focus and exposure adjustments, as it does not support automatic camera functions. The adapter is meticulously machined for a secure, light-sealed fit, constructed from hardened aluminum and copper with an anti-reflection matte finish, ensuring ease of mounting and dismounting.
