7Artisans CLOSE RING- L S Overview
Rangefinder lenses traditionally have longer minimum focusing distances than lenses of the same focal length designed for SLR and mirrorless systems. This adapter ring incorporates a helicoid to improve on this focusing range by essentially becoming an adjustable extension tube in addition to a manual lens adapter ring. Focus adjustment is still possible on the attached lens and, when set to the lens's minimum focusing distance, the helicoid of the adapter can be extended to achieve closer focusing performance.

Lens adapter worked for great for about 2-3 months. Then one day I was out shooting and my first real Leica M lens just popped off the adapter into my hand. I hadn't noticed the mount on the lens side had become very loose. Luckily I had the camera in a strap and I was holding the lens, but it spooked me into never using this adapter again. It seems like a gamble with these adapters, maybe you’ll get a good one… Or maybe not.

A steal of a deal for your SL to M mount adapter plus close focusing. It's a game changer for the M mount.

I see some reviews here mentioning that the adapter won't mount correctly on different cameras.
Can you confirm if it'll mount correctly on a Panasonic S5 or not?
7artisans Photoelectric Close Focus Adapter for Leica M Lens to Leica L Camera is fully compatible with Panasonic Lumix S5 Mirrorless Camera. The adapter is compatible with all Leica L mount cameras including Leica SL. The click sound when the adapter is mount on Leica cameras is not as loud and clear as in Lumix. We recommend attaching the lens to the adapter and mounting both to the camera. This method will allow you to get a better grip of your lens when attaching them to the camera.

Why is it labeled photo electric?
Why is it labeled photo electric?
That is just branding. 7artisans has a whole lineup of all manual lenses called Photoelectric. Same goes with this adapter. It is just a brand name. It does not describe the product.
