Leica M3, Voigtlander Old Nokton 50mm F/1.5, via 2 x lens adapter (Voigtlander Prominent Mount -> Leica Screw Mount -> Leica M Mount)

Leica M3,

Voigtlander Nokton 50mm F/1.5,

via 2 x lens adapter (Voigtlander Prominent Mount -> Leica Screw Mount -> Leica M Mount)

 

The lens is in Voigtlander Prominent mount, and it gives very nice bokeh effect.

 

In using lens adapter, the original square hood cannot be used. It can mount to the lens, but this square hood will rotate during the course of focusing action (because using lens adapter). Instead, the seller of this lens also gave me a tailored machined metal hood that is round in shade, that can screw into position.

 

How it looks like in mounting on my Minolta CLE, with the tailored machines hood :

For the filter thread in lens front part, it can also fit the original Voigtlander filter and hood
