Welcome to Leitax. This is our Voigtlander-Sony/Minolta page. We offer this new replacement Leitax bayonet to use Nikon-F mount Voigtlander SL II lenses on our Sony or Minolta bodies.
-This conversion is fully reversible and will not damage either the lens or the camera.
-This replacement mount is ready to install the appropriate chip on it. And, additionally, I will offer this mount with a chip already installed. When the lens has the proper chip, our Sony camera will display the focus confirmation light, will meter in Aperture priority mode and will enable the Super Steady Shot.
-The Voigtlander SL II lenses will focus to infinity and will maintain the aperture click stops.
-With adapted lenses, I use the stop-down method in Av mode. First, set the widest aperture on the Sony camera, now, with the lens diaphragm wide open, focus first, and then chose the aperture in the lens ring for metering.

- To have the Super Steady Shot system working properly, you'd have to order the correct chip for the lens you are going to use, with the max. aperture and focal length of your Leica lens recorded in it.
- I'm offering our mount with the original James Lao chip already glued on it as well.
- To glue yourself the electronic chip, just support it to the left or to the right in the precisely machined slot on our Leitax Leica-Sony bayonet, depending of the chip model (take a look at the pictures below).
- The Leitax bayonet also accepts simpler chip models that you can find in Ebay.
- The Sony cameras
can also
take pictures without the chip. In
Manual mode, just turn the control wheel to set the speed and you will
see the scale in the viewfinder showing the current exposure value.
In
Manual mode, the camera will take the picture and will save it in the
memory card.
Without the chip, we don't have focus confirmation and the anti-shake
works for 50mm default value.

- NEW!
This very same mount will work on
Zeiss ZF and ZF.2 lenses too. For these lenses, you'd have to order the correct chip to James Lao: http://www.eadpt.com/eadpen.htm Caution! The Zeiss Makro-Planar 2/100mm ZF and ZF.2 have the bayonet screws in different position. Therefore the lens will stay in the Sony camera slightly displaced. |

-NEW!
I did a small modification to this bayonet to use it on Nikkor lenses without CPU. For these lenses, you'd have to order the correct chip to James Lao: http://www.eadpt.com/eadpen.htm - Caution! The Nikkor 55/1.2 lens has the screws slighly displaced and cannot use our mount without a modification work on the Leitax bayonet. |

But, if you want the best, I can offer now the OP/TECH
USA Sony/Minolta cap. -It has a rubber O-Ring that seals the lens from dust and moisture. -The O-ring also forms tight friction, it will prevent from losing the cap. |

With certain models, we'll have to manipulate inside the lens, it's not a good place for something metallic. With this plastic tool I don't make any scratches inside the lenses. |
