Product Information

Full details

The Thypoch Positive Lock Adapter is designed for professional photographers and videographers using Leica M-mount glass on Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras who require rock-solid stability. Its primary benefit is the cinema-inspired dual-lock mechanism that eliminates micro-movements, ensuring perfect focus precision; however, users should note that as a manual focus system, it requires more deliberate handling compared to native autofocus lenses.

FAQs

Does this adapter support autofocus?

No, this is a mechanical adapter and all lens operations, including focus and aperture control, must be performed manually.

Can I use this on a tripod with a heavy lens?

Yes, the positive lock mechanism is specifically designed to provide the stability required for heavy lenses and external stabilizers.

Is the lever module required for use?

No, the lever module is detachable. You can replace it with the included low-profile grip module if you prefer a slimmer form factor.

Will this adapter affect my image quality?

The adapter is designed to maintain exact flange distance, so it will not degrade image quality, provided your lens is optically sound.

How much does the adapter weigh?

The Thypoch Positive Lock Adapter weighs approximately 82 grams.

Does it transmit EXIF data?

No, this adapter does not include electronic contacts, so it will not transmit lens data to the Nikon camera body.

Troubleshooting

Lens feels loose after mounting

Ensure the primary dual-lock ring is fully rotated into the locked position and check that no debris is trapped in the bayonet mount.

Focus does not reach infinity

Verify that the adapter is fully seated on the camera body and that no foreign objects are preventing a flush connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, align the Leica M-mount lens with the adapter bayonet and rotate until the lock engages. Once seated, ensure the secondary safety lock is in the engaged position. To remove, depress the safety release before actuating the main lens release. Compatibility is limited to Leica M-mount lenses and Nikon Z-mount camera bodies. To maintain the adapter, avoid using harsh chemicals; clean the stainless steel bayonet periodically with a dry, microfiber cloth to remove any debris or moisture. Store the adapter in a dry environment and keep the locking mechanism free of dust to maintain smooth operation.
