Are the lenses not listed as compatible untested, or tested and failed?
Asked by: Gregory
From my testing, my Zeiss Milvus lenses do not work with my SL (Typ 601) but some of my Sigma glass does. Hoping they put out a firmware update for more glass

Will this be compatible with AF and aperture adjustment on Leica TL series cameras, like the TL2, CL, and so on? The Sigma MC-21 adapter, for instance, is full-frame compatible only (SL, SL2, S1 + S1R, FP).
Asked by: Christopher
Yes this adapter is made to adapt Canon lenses to Leica tl/cl cameras

Will this adapter enable full frame use of the sigma 18-35? Sigma 21 adapter only allows crop sensor n lumix S5.
Asked by: Vincent
The question i was asking was not about full-frame coverage but about the ability to use full-frame mode with a crop sensor lens. Some crop lenses will work in full-frame though with a vignette on the wide end. The sigma 18-35 does not allow full-frame mode.

Does anybody know if this adapter work with Samyang XP lenses? Because Sigma MC-21 does not work properly with those lenses ( changing apature when taking picture - unusable for photo ) and it has the same problem with Video but it's kinda usuable ( when you hit record it changes apature by 1 EV and you have to manually go back. After stopping the record it happens again so its kinda anyoing for any kind of event filming)
Asked by: Lukasz
It is our understanding that this adapter has not been tested specifically with the Samyang XP lenses. Your results may vary.

Specifically, will this support full functionality for the Leica SL (not SL2, SL2-s)? Other mounts from 3rd party companies have not supported the original SL. (IE; Sigma MC-21)
Asked by: Michael
According to the Compatibility tab listed on the manufacturer's website, yes, the Commlite Electronic Autofocus Lens Mount Adapter for Canon EF or EF-S-Mount Lens to L-Mount Camera would be compatible for use with the original Leica SL (Typ 601) Mirrorless Digital Camera. AF-S autofocus is listed with all of the lenses on the manufacturer's list. However, they state AF-C is not available.

Does this support continuous autofocus while recording in video mode?
Asked by: Nicholas
Yes. The following unit will allow all passive communication. Just be mindful that continuous autofocus is power hungry.
