This Nikon F-Mount Lens to Leica L-Mount Camera Basic Adapter from Kipon is crafted out of durable aluminum and brass. It allows for infinity focus as well as all physical functions of the lens but does not transmit any electronic information to the camera.

It locked up on my lens the first time I tried it - the button that is supposed to release the adapter from the lenses stuck, probably because it it misaligned with the part beneath it that releases the adapter from the lens, so now I have a lens that is permanently attached to this adapter, unless, I send it somewhere for repair or a miracle occurs. I can't even return it to B&H, as it is stuck to the lens so that B&H surely won't take it back, and I don't blame them. This item was the first Kipon anything I have bought and surely will be the the last. It does at least focus to infinity, but of course does not communicate with the camera (S1R), which I knew before I bought it. So the one star rating is richly deserved and is given only because my Carl Zeiss 21/2.8 ZF is now usable only on the S1R and if I want to use any other Nikon lenses on the camera, I'll have to but another Nikon F to Leica L mount adapter - just not a Kipon.
