This
is the Visoflex 14127 adapter to Leica-R cameras. |
|
It has aperture ring... | |
..that operates this cam, I guess to tell to a Leica-R camera which F-stop is the Visoflex lens using. | |
Let's unscrew the original bayonet. | |
And remove it. | |
Look for the small bearing ball, this time it remained sticked at the bayonet. | |
But we cannot unscrew this cam as usual, because it is made from one piece together with the internal aperture ring. | |
To use this adapter on a Nikon and Sony cameras, we need to remove that cam. Pentax and Sigma cameras can use a Leitax bayonet directly. First, lift the aperture ring. | |
Now, unscrew the two fasteners that you can see at those long windows. | |
And lift the internal aperture ring, help yourself with the plastic tool to push it up. | |
Now we can remove this ring. | |
Save all the small parts. | |
Now put again the aperture ring in its place and screw a Leitax mount. Now, without the cam, we can use the standard Leitax bayonet for Nikon and Sony cameras. Pentax and Sigma users will not need to remove the cam. | |
