About the Leica S#

Leica's medium-format S system.

Adapting basics#

A lens can be adapted with simple tube spacers when its flange distance is longer than the camera's. With 53.00 mm, Leica S lenses can in principle go on bodies with shorter flanges such as Tamron Adaptall, Contax N, KMZ Zenit DKL-mount, Leica R, Nikon F, Olympus OM. Bodies with this mount can take lenses from longer-flange systems such as T-mount (T2), Mini T-mount, YS mount, Mamiya 6, Vivitar TX, Mamiya 7, Hasselblad H, Ricoh 126C-Flex.
