Canon 50mm/f0.95 Dream Lens converted to Leica M Mount (14 available)

  
Canon 50mm/f0.95 Dream Lens converted to Leica M Mount (14 available). 14 Canon 50mm/f0.95 lenses (the so-called Dream Lens) have been converted to Leica M mount. Both the Camera version and the TV versions have been converted.

(all surfaces of rear lens group, only front and rear surfaces of front lens group). Accurate shimming for infinity focus (using a precision autocollimator and a precision flange-distance spacer).

Rear of lens sealed with a stainless steel ring and O-ring, to prevent any dust entering the lens after conversion. 6-bit coding of lens type. Leica cameras that read this code will display Noct 0.95. Red index dot for lens alignment for mounting to camera. The lenses have NOT been adjusted for rangefinder coupling, so the camera must always be set for Manual focus.

The depth of field at f0.95 is extremely small, so that any rangefinder coupling would be questionable (and indeed there are comments online that such coupling often exhibit focus errors and focus shift). My preference for critical focus is to have the focus mechanism take the lens through infinity focus, so that you can be sure of zeroing in on the best focus. If you would prefer this option (at no extra charge), indicate at time of checkout. Infinity focus will be at about 20m on the focus scale. The following applies to ALL lenses.

No scratches in the glass. New for Leica black anodized aluminum End Cap.

Some lenses have one or more of the following minor flaws, (and these are described individually in the Table below). Cleaning mark(s) on coating. Note: It is difficult to photograph the diaphragm; the last Picture emphasizes the small oil areas of some lenses.

The Table below gives details for each lens, together with the firm price. Tiny wear marks on edges of rims of. Threads on fine a little tight. Very minor wear on edges of rims of. Some wear on edges of rims of. Slight scratch on front ring. Tiny small scuff on distance scale ring. Moderate wear on rims of Focus Ring.

Scratch on rear silver ring. Slight filter thread ding repaired. Some wear on Focus Ring. Fixed, filter threads on readily.

Just off center of front lens. These lenses can be used on mirrorless cameras with the appropriate adapter from Leica M. B&H Camera lists such adapters for almost ALL mirrorless cameras.
