The problem comes when trying to use it on an M camera... a) the cams are set differently, direct not helical transmission as on the M lenses. b) there's no correlation for the 40mm frame (of course) it keys the 50mm frame. c) if you're hoping for Leica quality, it isn't there, quite. My wife's Minilux zoom returned nicer pictures than my 40/2 Rokkor! best of Leitz, Jem =================== debugger wrote: > I'm considering buying a 40 M-Rokkor and I have a couple of questions > about it. > > 1) How does its size compare to the non-asph 35 summicron? > 2) Which framelines does it activate on a Leica M and what is it's > actual coverage relative to the framelines? > > All answers appreciated.
