The Shoten R50 series adapters convert 50mm DSLR prime lenses to rangefinder-coupled lenses for M-mount cameras.
, the adapters are available now for a suggested retail price of ¥22,500, which converts to around $160.. The adapter ships with a precision screwdriver that is required to adjust the distance meter. The adapter is only compatible with lenses with a 50mm focal length, and when focusing in live view, the minimum focus distance can be shortened using the helicoid.offers a hands-on report concerning the new Shoten adapters.
Sawamura even tested a prototype NF-LM R50 coupler to use F-mount lenses on M-mount cameras. This adapter should be available sometime soon, although precise availability information is not provided. Sawamura also mentions that Shoten is working on adapters for Yashica/Contax and Exakta lenses.While the new Shoten R50-series adapters do not include an autofocus motor, they seem poised to expand the lens options for Leica M-mount photographers significantly.
The ability to adjust the distance meter of the adapter, which allows for infinity focus, is especially impressive and helps set these coupler adapters apart from others on the market, some of which only work at close-up focusing distances. Ensuring an accurate distance meter is challenging, although Sawamura’s hands-on experience suggests that Shoten hit its target.
