The other story I got was that the metering works in all but the aperture priority modes- spot and averaging... I'd try it on my R-7, but drat it all- I had a third cam added to all my lenses, so I'll have to lurk about for the definative answer :) - -----Original Message----- From: Joe Berenbaum <joe-b@dircon.co.uk> To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Date: Saturday, 08 November, 1997 12:37 AM Subject: Using 2 cam lenses on 3 cam bodies >Can anyone answer a few questions about using a 2 cam lens on the R6 and R7? > >I assume that the metering will only work if I press the dof lever to stop >the lens down to the working aperture, and assuming I set manual metering >like that, the exposures will be accurate.
