So this is my first post and hope to gain alot of direction here. As a Leica shooter I have a ton of L mount glass (SL2). I own a few Leica L Primes ..... a few Sigma's and few Panasonic lenses. I have searched and was reading into the mounts and adapting being I traded in a kidney to get this system (lol). I see that there is no direct solution for adapting RF mount to Leica L mount glass. What I wanted to know is if its possible to double adapt I guess....... could I do the listed below and if I did what type of issues / results could I expect.

so:

RED canon (RF) to https://novoflexus.com/novoflex-adapter-leica-m-lenses-to-canon-eos-r-cameras/ ........!?!?!?!? Am I tripping trying to make something like this work or is there a solution of some sort I'm missing. Obviously if I'm going to screw something up then this idea is just conceptual and I'll just have to buy CINE Glass for now. All input is appreciated. Thanks

Note: I'm pretty new with all of this and no where near a KNOW IT ALL.
 
L-Mount's flange focal distance is 20mm. Unfortunately Canon RF is also 20mm. It befuddles me why anybody thought this was a good idea. However, while you can't adapt via adapter, I have seen success with lens mount conversion. Nobody I know offers this solution yet as a service/product, but I have seen it done. It is an absolute pain.

Leica-M mount does mount onto RF as do like 70 or so other lens mounts. E-Mount is shallower, Z is too; those are also a no go.

In 2021 on cameras manufactured, Nikon's Z-Mount is somehow the most adaptable modern made mount. Then E-Mount, then RF-Mount tied with L-Mount. Problem for everybody is market presence. RF and E-Mount are "popular" and used on cinema as well as mirrorless cameras.

Hope that helps.
 
Thanks Phill....I think I'm gonna have to get some proper CINE glass and I still use that class for stills. I just thought I would be able to take advantage of some of this L glass know what I mean.
