Introducing Rayqual lens adapters
We are pleased to be able to offer for sale adapters by the specialist Japanese adapter manufacturer Rayqual. Rayqual lens adapters are finely engineered high precision devices manufactured to tight tolerances MADE IN JAPAN, so rest assured that they will not compromise the high quality of your lenses or cameras.
To start things off we offer the new Rayqual Micro Four-Thirds adapter for Leica M lenses and Canon FD lenses. The adapter allows you to mount Leica M and Canon FD manual focus lenses on Micro 4/3 camera bodies such as the new Panasonic Lumix G1 digital camera.
Rayqual offers many more adapters so if you have a specific requirement, please contact us. For the current items on sale, please see here.
On the topic of using interesting lenses with the G1, what would you say if you could attach C-Mount lenses, used by 16mm movie cameras, on your G1? To be continued…
UPDATE: C-Mount adapter is available here.

Is there any possibility of obtaining a Mamiya M645 to Sony/Minolta adapter?

Unfortunately they don’t seem to make that one, only M645 to EOS, Nikon and Pentax K.

Do you have an adapter that will allow me to use my Contax RTS lens on a Sony A500

Hi Bill,
I have not heard of such an adapter, in fact I am not aware of any Minolta AF/Sony Alpha adapters. Whether that’s a technical, market potential or legal/patent issue I don’t know.

Looking for an adapter so I can use my old screw mount takumar lenses on my lumix gf1.
January 25th, 2010 at 14:25
Since Takumar screw mount is M42 our Rayqual M42-M4/3 adapter should fit the bill here.

There are two types of M42 adapters, one with an internal rim
which
depresses the auto-aperture pin and one with no rim. The
most recent SMC
Takumars with full aperture metering (on the
appropriate Pentax body)
should not be used with the rimmed
adapter, as the diaphragm coupling
lever grinds against the rim.
My question is : Does the Rayqual M42-M4/3 adapter work
with these most recent
SMC-Takumar M-42 lenses ?

Hi Philippe,
I checked on this with Rayqual and they are not aware of any issue – which doesn’t mean that there won’t be any, but bear in mind that they have been doing M42 for other formats for a long time.
No adapter can ever be totally free of complications or incompatibilities because there are simply too many variations of lens and body combinations. You have to try to be sure. Feel free to order the adapter and you can return it in case it does not work for refund (excluding postage).
