The new Fujifilm X-Pro 1 is the latest exciting addition to the growing variety of small mirrorless SLR cameras allowing flexible use of contemporary and classic lenses. While there are a wide variety of adapters on the market, Rayqual adapters are MADE IN JAPAN to the highest quality standards allowing photographers and cinematographers to reliably and precisely mount alternative lenses on their cameras.

A customer in the video/motion picture industry who tried their luck with the cheaper alternatives comments: “We already have adaptors for all our Nikon lenses and they work, it’s just that the tolerances are no good resulting in the lenses rotating which is a problem when trying use a follow focus shooting video.” The issues were resolved after switching to the equivalent Rayqual products.

Rayqual SLR lens to Leica rangefinder adapter

This is an interesting new lens mount adapter from Rayqual, which allows mounting of various SLR mount lenses on Leica M or Leica Screw Mount (LTM) mount rangefinder cameras.

While the adapter is not fully rangefinder coupled, it will facilitate focussing much more than any other adapter. It will set the camera’s rangefinder to a fixed distance of three meters. You will not be able to focus variably by means of the rangefinder patch, but the 3m setting and usual distance scale-based focussing should help a great deal.

Recommended for lenses up to 50mm focal length. Price ¥18.900.

The following lens mounts are available:

  • Nikon F
  • Contax/Yashica
  • Pentax K
  • Olympus OM
  • Leica R
  • Minolta MD
  • Exakta/Topcor
  • M42 (Price Â¥13.900)

As usual MADE IN JAPAN quality. Rayqual mount adapters consistently get positive feedback from our customers. Here is a recent comment: This is one well-built little adapter. No rotational slop, very solid; it’s very smooth mounting the lens. Glad I didn’t try the cheapos from eBay… (Texas, USA, on the Rayqual C/Y to EOS adapter)

MS-MAG x1.15 Leica M viewfinder magnifier back in stock

As we announced previously the popular MS-MAG 1.15x magnifier (announced as discontinued and sold out) is back in stock. This magnifier is of great value as on cameras with 0.85 magnification (e.g. Leica M3, Leica M6) it will result in natural view allowing shooting with both eyes open.

Thank you for your patience and those who have placed pre-orders, which will be fulfilled today.

Micro 4/3 lens adapter choice to increase

Premium lens adapter manufacturer Rayqual just informed us of the following upcoming releases of new adapters for the Micro Four-Thirds (M4/3) mount:

Nikon F and Contax/Yashica to M4/3 lens adapters will become available in July June and Pentax K, Olympus OM and Leica R versions will follow suit in August.

Prices will be in line with the Leica M and Canon FD to M4/3 adapters (Â¥18.700).
