Product Information

Full details

The Thypoch Positive Lock Adapter is designed for professional photographers and videographers who require a rock-solid connection when using Leica M-mount lenses on Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Its standout feature is the dual-lock mechanism that eliminates micro-movements, providing the stability necessary for precision focus work and gimbal setups. A key caveat for potential users is that this is a manual adapter, meaning electronic communication such as autofocus or EXIF data transmission between the lens and camera body is not supported.

FAQs

Does this adapter support autofocus?

Can I use this with Sony A7 series cameras?

Is it compatible with Leica M-mount lenses only?

How do I ensure the lens is securely locked?

After mounting, ensure both the primary locking ring is turned and the secondary safety catch is engaged.

Will this adapter fit on a camera cage?

Troubleshooting

Lens feels loose after mounting

Ensure the primary positive lock is fully engaged and the secondary safety lock is clicked into the closed position.

IBIS seems ineffective

Manually set the correct focal length in the 'SteadyShot' settings menu of your Sony camera body.

Lever module is in the way of the camera grip

Use the provided tool to detach the lever module and replace it with the included anti-slip plate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, align the Leica M lens with the adapter markings and rotate until you hear the primary lock engage. Engage the secondary safety lock to complete the installation. When mounting to your Sony E-mount camera, ensure the adapter locks firmly into the camera body. To customize your setup, use the included tools to remove the lever module and replace it with the anti-slip plate depending on your preference for manual focus feel. For maintenance, keep the interior contact surfaces clean of dust and grit using a microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the mount to prevent residue buildup.
