Mount your Leica M-mount rangefinder lenses on a Nikon Z-mount mirrorless camera with the VM-Z Close Focus Adapter from Voigtlander. In addition to being an all-metal, manual lens adapter, the VM-Z also has a unique design to shorten the minimum focusing distance of the attached lens. An integrated helicoid, with 5.5mm 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 BD285A Reviews
Extends the range of M lenses!

I’ve tried several different M-Z apaters, and this one is the best for my needs. I tried AF adapter that everyone raves about, but didn’t care for it (if I need AF, I’ll use Nikon lenses). With it’s close focusing capability, this adapter turns my Z body into an interchangeable Q with the nice small M lenses. The only nitpick I have is with the fiddly switch that needs to be unlocked to emgage close focusing, but Im getting used to it.
Worth the price

Got this to adapt manual focus lenses to my Nikons and it works like a charm. The fit and build quality is what you can expect from Voigtlander. Even though it is pricier than other adapters on the market, it’s worth the investment and may be the last adapter you’ll buy. I don’t use the close focus much but it is there when you need it.
