The FotodioX Vizelex ND Throttle Cine Lens Adapterfrom FotodioX Vizelex ND Throttle Cine Lens Adapterallows the use of Minolta SR, MD, and MC SLR lenses on a Leica L-Mount Alliance mirrorless camera body.

Featuring all-metal construction with brass mounts to provide a durable yet lightweight camera-to-lens connection, the adapter is designed to support infinity focusing and has a built-in variable neutral density filter with an integrated control ring. Ready for use with still or video cameras, the variable neutral density filter provides an exposure reduction of 1 to 8 stops, so adjustments to brightness can be made independently of the camera and lens, enabling more flexible exposure and depth of field control while recording video within a designated frame rate.

Certain prime lenses just can't be replaced. Save the cost of purchasing a new lens with a FotodioX adapter. Mix camera/lens platforms or reinvigorate vintage glass - FotodioX has hundreds of ways to mount lenses onto your DSLR or SLR camera. The adapters deliver infinity focus, manual aperture control, and a sturdy build for lasting quality.

The dial on the adapter is a built-in 10-stop variable ND filter which allows you to control the amount of light coming in from the lens with a quick twist of the dial. Great for video, you are able to shoot in bright daylight with a shallow depth of field.

The leaf spring design in the adapter holds the lens tight to the camera body ensuring there is no play between the camera and the lens. The all-metal design and polished surface are designed to guarantee smooth mounting. Although the lens will fit physically, the automatic diaphragm, autofocusing, or any other function will not operate correctly while using this adapter. Because of this, the stop-down mode will need to be used when metering since the lens does not have the ability to have its aperture controlled by the camera body. You can shoot with manual mode or aperture priority mode. Infinity focusing is guaranteed.
