Subject: [Leica] LTM Dual Range Nikkor: How does it work?
From: Rick Oleson <rick_oleson@yahoo.com>

Hi everybody:

I've picked up a chrome 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor in Leica
screw mount.  The lens focuses normally down to a
meter, encounters a detent, then proceeds down to
about 18 inches minimum focus.  It has no provision
for 'goggles' for close focusing, and in any case the
rangefinder runs out at 1 meter.

Was there supposed to be some sort of accessory for
this?  It seems pretty useless to me to make an f/1.4
lens focus to 18 inches with no rangefinder coupling.

thanks....
