I thought this might be a fun follow-up to yesterday’s post.
A few years ago, I attached the Nikkor-NOCT 58/1.2 to the Leica M9, via a Novoflex adapter, and took this image.
Focusing involved guessing, because of course the Nikkor-NOCT is not rangefinder coupled.

Here is another test shot:

As can be appreciated in the second image, one of the nice things about the Nikkor-NOCT is its near focus ability,

Hi,
just thinking of adapting my old FD glass to the M9 with the Novoflex adapter.
How do you focus as it is not coupled to the camera?
Thanks for answering in advance

Hello Andreas,
You cannot focus on the M9, therefore you must guess/estimate. No reliable means of focusing is possible.
