It is not a stock item, I had it made up for me by Malcolm Taylor, I simply provided a Rollei 35SL extension tube and a Leica male bayonet, he put them together at the right distance but needed the lens to work with to ensure accuracy. I think I asked him once whether he could remount a Zeiss Rolleiflex/Contax lens on an R and the answer was 'No', I could be wrong though. As I've mentioned before I have a Pentax Super-Elmar equivalent, 15mm f3.5, which he's 'tweaked' to fit onto the R cameras. It's purely manual, no auto iris, but a hell of a saving on the real option. I also have a similar adapter for Pentax-K to Leica-M which I do not need/use now, if you have a Pentax fisheye, that could be useful! best regards, Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Alastair Firkin [SMTP:firkin@netconnect.com.au] Jem, Can you use the Zeiss fisheye on the R camera? Where did you get the adaptor, or is this one of your "creations". I have the same lens and would love to use it on my R8 Cheers from a stumble bum with mechanics - -- Alastair Firkin http://www.afirkin.com
