Voigtlander S-VM E Adapter and Voigtlander C-VM E Adapters

full frame Sony Alpha 7/7r/7s or smaller format NEX cameras!
The necessary Voigtlander VM-E Close Focus Adapter is HERE
Mr. Kobayashi of Cosina had the interesting idea of adding a lens mount to his best selling Voigtlander VM E Close Focus adapter to create a focusing lens adapter for the popular internal mount classic Nikon and Zeiss Contax 50mm rangefinder lenses. This makes good sense as the Voigtlander close focus adapter is a precision focusing helical. Time will tell if the inventive Mr. K adds more lens mounts for non helical mount lenses. On the left is the Nikon S-VM E adapter, on the right the Contax C-VM E adapter.
These mounts are machined with such high precision that it does the original Nikon or Zeiss Contax Rangefinder camera mounts proud! The VM-E Close focus adapter provides helical focusing without rotating the lens and it aperture ring - unlike the classic Contax rangefinder focusing experience which rotates the 50mm internal mount lenses. Above shows a classic Zeiss Ikon 50/1.5 Carl Zeiss Sonnar from the mid 1950's mounted on the Voigtlander C-VM adapter mounted on the VM-E Close Focus Adapter mount on a full frame Sony Alpha 7 camera. Of course the same combo will also mount on all of the smaller format NEX cameras.
