The Leica S mount is a lens mount designed for medium-format digital SLR cameras by Leica and introduced in 2008 with the S2 camera. It is a single-lens reflex mount with a 30\u00d745mm medium format sensor (3:2 aspect ratio) and no film legacy. It is a bayonet mount with four tabs, a focal flange distance of 53mm and a throat diameter of 66.5mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an adapter, the Leica S-Adapter H, that allows mounting almost all the Hasselblad H-system lenses on S camera bodies while retaining all lens functions \u2013\u200d autofocus, aperture and central shutter control. The same features \u2013\u200d autofocus and aperture control \u2013\u200d are available with Contax 645 AF lenses using the Leica S-Adapter C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to the usual 35mm format, the crop factor of S-mount lenses is 0.8\u00d7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
