The adapters offer a ‘highly precise correction of the flange focal distance, to permit focusing to infinity’, claims the German manufacturer.

The firm adds: ‘In addition, the versions for Nikon, Minolta AF/Sony Alpha and Pentax K have a built-in aperture control and can even be used with lenses that do not have a manual aperture ring.’
