Obviously the certifiable 24mm M focal point or the 25mm Zeiss would be ideal, yet sensibly I wouldn't utilize them generally that frequently. However, we have a perfect Super-Multi-Covered Takumar 24mm f/3.5 focal point for the Pentax Spotmatic in the bureau. It has a more extended register distance to the mount than genuine M focal points, accounting for a connector. So I purchased a $20 Fotodiox M42-Leica M connector from Amazon and did a trial.
Chinese specialty organizations make connectors to fit pretty much any more established manual SLR focal point to most purported mirrorless computerized camera bodies. This gives new life to numerous wonderful exemplary film focal points. Most longer central lengths, around 50mm or more, perform all around well on advanced bodies. The wide points at times dislike computerized sensors, however in that I was utilizing film, I planned to utilize a focal point intended for film on the right detecting media.
Results
The upside: The optical outcomes were superior to I anticipated. I don't have a certified Leica 24, so I have no reason for correlation. Indeed, it isn't as "sharp" as my 35 Summicron, yet so what? Sharpness fear consumes pseudo-photographic artists on advanced camera site pages. For $20, I'm satisfied.
The ungainly: Outlining is an issue. Assuming I move my eye left and right and all over the greatest degree across the M2's eyepiece, I assume I see a large portion of the 24mm inclusion. The focal point impedes part of the view, and it is miserable to utilize the certified Takumar hood. To do: purchase a 24mm helper locater. Center is absolutely manual.
The weighty: The Takumar with its Fotodiox connector is a massive and rather weighty chamber.
Here are a few models from Romania and Greece. The film was Fujifilm Acros, uncovered at EI=80. Praus Creations in Rochester, New York, fostered the film in Xtol. I filtered the film with a Plustek 7600i scanner utilizing the Tri-X 400 profile (the SilverFast programming doesn't have an Acros profile).
The 24mm Takumar focal point functions admirably on the Leica M2. Outlining is ungainly and you really want to figure the distance of your fundamental subject, yet that isn't excessively basic with a wide point focal point. I previously had the 24mm focal point, so $20 for a connector was a deal method for getting wide point inclusion. A 24mm helper locater would be useful.
