You Can Now Autofocus Leica M-Mount Lenses with This Adapter | No Film School

While there are probably not many filmmakers shooting with Leica M-mount lenses, if you happen to need an adapter that adds autofocus to it while using a Fujifilm X series camera body, Fotodiox has the solution.

Part of its Pro PRONTO adapter line, the Fotodiox Pro PRONTO Autofocus Adapter, compatible with Leica M-mount to Fuji X-Series, turns the manual focus lens into an autofocus lens. Now available to pre-order for $349, the company says the adapter is ideal for focal lengths 50mm or wider.

The adapter weighs only 1.5 lbs (680g) and is designed using robust metal materials to withstand day-to-day use. Fotodiox also makes the Pro PRONTO adapter to adapt M-mount to Sony E, which is available for $249.

If adding autofocus isn't a worry, the company has a range of adapters to adapt M-mount for Fujifilm X, including this one for $65, or this one for $20 to adapt M-mount Rangefinder lenses to Fujifilm X.

You can pre-order the M-mount to Fujfilm X Pro PRONTO adapter on Fotodiox's website.

Mark Duplass Has Some Thoughts on Sundance Acceptance

Mark Duplass Share His Thoughts on Sundance Acceptance

The Calvary King delivers a hopeful message to filmmakers who didn't get into Sundance.

Mark Duplass has always been a filmmaker's filmmaker. He famously delivered his "The Cavalry is Not Coming" speech at SXSW as a call to action for independent filmmakers to stop waiting and start shooting. Duplass also historically creates and works on small-budget indie projects, including being a key member of the lo-fi, bare-bones mumblecore movement. He's also a charismatic actor who brings a relatable ethos to every role he plays—not to mention seems like an overall cool dude.

We love Mark Duplass.

All the above considered, it's no surprise to see Duplass take to social media with an encouraging statement following the recently announced 2025 Sundance lineup this past Wednesday. Duplass, hot off positive reviews for the recently released The Creep Tapes on Shudder, warmly comforted filmmakers that if you happened to apply to Sundance and weren't selected, hey, that's okay. They curate 15,775. It happens.

We all know rejection sucks, but don't sweat it. Be proud of your project no matter what. And watch Mark Duplass's full snippet of encouraging wisdom below.
