SUMMARY
Lens specialists Funleader and Mr. Ding have reached a milestone with their project to adapt Contax G lenses for modern Leica M cameras. The latest addition, a 28mm conversion kit for the Biogon f/2.8, joins existing kits for the Planar 35mm f/2 and 45mm f/2. These non-destructive conversions allow photographers to use the acclaimed vintage Zeiss optics on Leica rangefinders without permanently modifying the original lenses. The project began in 2019 and has seen refinements in design and mechanics, culminating in a versatile trio of focal lengths for street and documentary photography.
