I've done this with my Sony A6000, with M mount and LTM glass; I don't see why it shouldn't work with the CL with its much better EVF and controls. YMMV, though - *if* you acquire a CL, I'd get some native lenses, too, because while adapting can be fun, it's frustrating not to be able to explore what the camera can do. If Leica lens prices scare you off that thought, the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 is available in L mount now - it's a great lens for the price, and its 16mm and 56mm siblings are even better by most accounts (the 16mm being rather big, though).I was pondering today if the digial CL would work well with old LTM lenses via stacked adaptors? LTM -> M -> L ?
Anyone tried this? I'm still trying to find a digital equal to my old IIIf and Summitar. I love my Nikons but miss a certain something about Leica.
That’s interesting to know because as Matt alludes, whilst I do like the look of the CL and have thought about it in the context of perhaps utilising my M lenses, I’ve always had the nagging thought that even if one invested in the CL and all it’s native lenses, I’d still be wondering to myself why the hell didn’t I just invest in a Fuji system. A FF CL would surely set it apart in that regard.I don't see problem using LTM lenses on CL. From Jono review he said CL works better with M lenses than Fuji cameras due to its sensor stack... Also you can choose a similar Leica M profile with CL to correct some of the lens problems. However APSC cuts most of the problem areas of the older lenses anyway... But still higher MP pushes the older lenses eg CV 35mm f2 lens was much better than Contax g 35mm f2 wide open on CL... But the difference might not be that much when the lenses stopped down...
