This KIPON Macro Lens Mount Adapter for Leica M-Mount Lens to Leica L-Mount Camera is specifically designed to support macro mode. Thanks to a built-in helicoid, it can be turned to further focus the lens beyond its minimum focus distance, effectively increasing magnification. Please note that once the helicoid is adjusted out of its original position, infinity focus will no longer be available. When the adapter is in its original position, the infinity focus function will continue to work as usual.

Q: 3. How to take picture on Canon r5 with Leica M lens? When I press button to take picture it doesn't fire. I have tried all modes.Any advice will help. Thanks

A: When using a third-party lens with a lens adapter with no electronic contacts on the Canon EOS R Mirrorless Digital Camera, the camera does not know there is a lens on the camera, and by default, the camera is designed not to release the shutter or record movies if no lens is detected on the camera. As such, as indicated on page 828 of the Canon EOS R5 Instruction manual under the Custom Function menu under C.Fn4, there is an option titled [Release shutter w/o lens], which you have the option to select [OFF: Disable] or [ON: Enable]. You would need to set this setting to [ON: Enable] to allow your camera to release the shutter when using a lens with a lens adapter and no electronic contacts.
