The new adapter from Megadap allows photographers to enjoy the timeless character of the iconic lenses from Leica with the convenience of modern autofocus cameras from Canon. Designed for both full-frame and APS-C Canon R cameras, the M2RF adapter combines, the company says, advanced technology with thoughtful design to enhance the shooting experience through a range of powerful features:
● Excellent Autofocus Performance: Powered by the electronic helical drive system, the M2RF delivers fast, responsive and accurate focusing. It fully supports Canon Dual Pixel AF, including Eye Detection, Subject Tracking, Face Priority & AF-C.
● Maximum 4.5mm Extension: Reduces the minimum focusing distance, enabling close-up and macro photography
● In-Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS) Support: Fully compatible with Canon’s in-body image stabilisation system for improved handheld shooting.
● 4-step Aperture Lever: Realises manual synchronisation between the camera’s displayed aperture value and the actual lens aperture.
● EXIF Logging: Records the lens name, focal length and aperture value for up to 4 different lenses.
● Quick AF/MF Switch: Easy switch between autofocus and manual focus with a single click or activate macro mode with a double click.
● Compatibility with non M-mount lenses: Compatible with Leica M-mount lenses from Leica, Voigtländer, Zeiss, and many other manufacturers. The adapter also supports stacking with additional adapters, allowing users to mount lenses from other systems, such as Nikon F to Leica M to Canon RF, for even greater versatility.
● Premium Build: Crafted from black anodised aluminium with silver matte pearl nickel electroplating to complement the premium aesthetics of Leica M lenses.
The M2RF adapter also features user-upgradable firmware and customizable EXIF settings. With the included Type C adapter and Megadap software, users can, Megadap claims, “easily install the latest firmware updates on both Windows and macOS, ensuring continued performance improvements and expanded compatibility.”
The Megadap M2RF autofocus adapter has a price of US$399 per unit in the US market, with pricing varying in different countries. The M2RF is available for purchase through Megadap distributor’s official webstore as well as authorised resellers.
