I found out that you can not mount any rom lenses and this is helpful to know. Some also pointed out their source and I appreciate this so that I know where to get information like this in the future. In response to this feedback, I purchased a 35-70 f3.5 German 3-cam zoom which fits perfectly. The manual even states that it can be used on all R cameras and all SL/SL2's. I have two more questions to those that either have this lens or this camera. Where can I find an eyecup for it. I asked a gentleman at Wallstreet camera at the time I bought the lens and he didn't think the R eye cup would work. He said he would send one if it did. He did not, so I must assume it will not fit. Second, the front lens barrel has a little play or wobble when the barrel is fulling extended to the closet setting of 1 meter. Is this normal in an older lens, or should I have it checked. Both the focus ring and the zoom ring are silky smooth. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help me. Tom Henson - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
