On p. 105, discussing the first version (1975 - 1990) of the 19/2.8, he says, "It was suitable for use on all Leica reflex cameras." None of my other sources (Rogliatti, Osterloh, Bower, Eastland) say anything about the 19/2.8 when discussing the limitations of the SL. Of course, I'm talking off the top of my head here, because I don't have a 19/2.8 to mount on my SL's... - -Patrick
