Novoflex camera lens adapters
Novoflex (founded 1948 in Memmingen, Germany) is the precision-mechanical adapter specialist for the European photo market. CNC-machined aluminum bodies, dual-screw bayonet retention, and a per-lens infinity-focus calibration spec sheet ship with every adapter. Reputation: the most expensive mechanical adapter you can buy for any given lens-to-body route (typically 3-5× the price of K&F's equivalent), with mechanical precision photographers compare favourably to native first-party mounts. Made in Germany, lifetime warranty, no electronics on any current SKU — focused on adapting vintage and current MF lenses (Leica M / R, Contax/Yashica, Nikon F, Pentax 67, Hasselblad V, Olympus OM) onto modern mirrorless bodies (Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, Fuji X / GFX, MFT, L-Mount).

CNC-machined-in-Germany aluminum body, dual-screw bayonet retention, per-unit infinity-focus calibration with paper spec sheet. Leica M-mount glass (Leica, Voigtländer VM, Zeiss ZM, Konica M-Hexanon, 7Artisans) onto Canon RF bodies (R5 II / R5 / R6 II / R3 / R8 / R10).
CNC-German alternative to Nikon's FTZ / FTZ II for the manual-focus AI / AI-S Nikkor user — purely mechanical, no electronics, lighter than the FTZ, with Novoflex's dual-screw bayonet precision.
SONY/OM
Olympus OM → Sony E · 2016 · mechanical
Olympus OM (OM Zuiko 1972-2003 line — 21, 24, 28, 35, 50, 85, 90 Macro, 100, 135, 200 mm primes) onto Sony E with CNC-German precision. The 46 mm OM flange clearance over Sony E's 18 mm makes the Novoflex SONY/OM a substantial barrel.
Common questions
- Why are Novoflex adapters so much more expensive than K&F or Urth?
- Three reasons: CNC-machined-in-Germany aluminum bodies (not the OEM Shenzhen stamping common at lower price points), per-lens infinity-focus calibration with a paper spec sheet shipped per unit, and a dual-screw bayonet retention that virtually eliminates flange-distance drift over years of mounting / unmounting. Photographers using vintage lenses critically for paid work — Leica M Summicrons on Sony, Hasselblad V on GFX — value the precision and pay 3-5× the budget-tier price for it. For occasional hobby use, the precision premium is hard to justify.
- Do Novoflex adapters preserve any electronic functionality?
- No — every current Novoflex adapter is purely mechanical with no electronics, no AF, no aperture coupling. The brand has deliberately not entered the AF-adapter market, leaving that space to Sigma, Metabones, Viltrox, Commlite, and Megadap. Novoflex's positioning is precision-mechanical adaptation of manual-focus glass for photographers who want the tightest possible flange tolerances.
- Where can I buy Novoflex adapters?
- Direct from novoflex.com (Memmingen, Germany), B&H Photo, Adorama, KEH (used), and a handful of European photo specialists (Calumet UK, Pixelistes France, Foto Koch Germany). The brand isn't sold through Amazon's general listings or commodity online channels — Novoflex protects distribution to specialist retailers that can stock the per-lens-route range (typically 80+ SKUs covering most vintage-lens-to-mirrorless paths).
