[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have been looking for the 60mm for my "new" SL2. Yesterday I saw one in Fieldgrass & Gale's stocklist for £400, including the extension tube 14198. So far so good. Except that Eastland says in the "Leica R Compendium" that "...the tube facilitates full auto diaphragm function but must be connected to the lens with both lens aperture and scale on tube set to f/22." Does this mean that the tube/lens combination can only be USED at f/22, or is it just when mounting the rig that the lens must be stopped down all the way? A related question: can the newer Macro Adapter R be used on the SL2? TIA.
