The Novoflex Canon EOS EF lens to Leica SL (Typ 601) AF adapter (released in May 2016) is reviewed by David Taylor Hughes (Website | Twitter | Facebook | Instagram):
Novoflex, a German photo and film accessory company have come up with a Canon EOS EF lens to Leica SL (Typ 601) adapter that enables autofocus. Since I have an SL and several Canon lenses, I bought one. This was primarily to add some lens choices since the SL system currently has only two. I’ve tried both Leica zooms, the 24-90mm and 90-280mm and they are both astonishingly and surprisingly heavy. The 90-280mm is pretty much the heaviest lens I’ve ever tried to pickup. As a full-time landscape stock photographer who walks a lot these are obviously out of the question. I’ve been using some Leica R and Nikon lenses on my SL via Novoflex adapters and they have worked very well with the excellent MF capabilities of the camera, but the chance to use AF with my Canon lenses was very tempting, so I parted with £400+ to get the adapter.
