I bought some Fotodiox and 7Artisans adaptors for mounting Leica R & M, Nikon G and Contax/Yashica lenses onto 907X and in quiet moments between calls, I put some lenses on and looked out of window to see if the lens would work or not. This is a brief overview but I havent done any testing as such and havent taken any photos of the dirt on the outside of my window.
Lens Adaptors:
The Fotodiox R to XCD is well machined and works well, although a few lenses have to be fiddled so the locking mechanism clicks in place.
The lenses that have small optical vignetting are 50/1.4E60, 100/2.8 macro, 90/2 Apo, 50/2, 350/5.6
The lenses that appear to have mechanical vignetting from internal construction are 19/2.8, 80-200, 35/1.4
The 7Artisans Leica M to XCD, looks well machined but is stiff to put on and off and a couple of lenses were stiff to remove.
Without too much vignetting: 50/2 Apo, 50/2.8 collapsible elmarit, 90/2.8, 75/2.
Strong optical vignetting - Voigtländer 50/1.0.
Mechanical vignetting, Voigtländer 50/1.1, 21/1.4, 35/1.4 Asph (new), 35/2.0, 75/1.4, Nikon RF 85/3.5 (Nikon to Leica M adaptor)
Fotodiox Contax/Yashica to XCD
Small optical vignetting; 85/1.4
Strong optical or mechanical vignetting; 45/2.8, 28/2.8
Fotodiox Nikon G to XCD
Small optical vignetting; Voigtländer 58/1.4
