Mount your Leica M-mount rangefinder lenses on a Sony E-mount mirrorless camera with the VM-E Close Focus Adapter from Voigtlander. In addition to being an all-metal, manual lens adapter, the VM-E also has a unique design to shorten the minimum focusing distance of the attached lens. An integrated helicoid, with 4mm of travel, enables focusing closer with rangefinder lenses, which inherently have a relatively long minimum focusing distance. This adapter also features an infinity lock switch that limits the helicoid's movement and maintains the original focusing range of the lens.

Voigtlander BD272A Reviews
Makes you enjoy taking photos
Attached summicron 35mm f1.4 to my Sony a7c Allow me to take much closer photos than the min range and built quality is good
M to E mount adapter
Works well on my sony 7r4. Price is little high. But the quality is good. I like the lock button. I wish It has marks on it telling which side is lock.
A beauty!!
I bought the NOKTON 35mm F1.4 lens and was really unsure whether to buy a cheaper adapter. My question was whether a cheaper adapter was going to take away quality from my VL. At last I decided to buy this adapter and I am very happy with the close focus because apart from that it does not take away anything of quality, it makes my VL a super versatile lens expanding the focus capacity!
Super solution!
Gives me the perfect shot I was looking for. Very well made. Easy to use.
Sony A7R M2 + Leica Noctilux F1.0/50mm - Works for me!
So far I have been using this adapter for�Sony A7R M2 + Leica Noctilux F1.0/50mm combination. It works well for me. I'm very glad I'm now able to use the lens with a digital camera body. Of course peak levels, etc. can be used here. There is some vignetting but I'm not sure whether it's the adapter's fault. The connection between lens and camera is without any issues.
Perfect
I had a bit of issues with adapter including novaflex light bleeding in the lens, now with this one is perfect in all aspects
Must have
I really didn't understand how much of a difference the close focus adaptor would make, and how much the minimum focusing distance would be effected with a standard adaptor. For far away subjects I leave the adaptor locked. It has a very tight and secure connection. For close up subjects I can unlock it and the focus ring feels incredibly smooth and precise. I'm using both Leica and Voigtlander M mount glass on Sony bodies (A9II and A7RIV). Highly recommend for using M-Mount glass with digital bodies.
Exactly as promised
Reviews indicated this adapter is worth the price. I agree. My $25 adapter did not match the precision of my 50mm Leica lens which always produced images a bit soft on the left edge. Now the images are completely symmetrical in sharpness and I have true infinity focus. The bonus of closer focus to increase close-up magnification is very significant. I can now fill the frame with flowers that always required cropping in post process. The image quality of this lens is excellent even at half the previous closest focus distance. Highly recommended.
