[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've discovered an interesting flaw with my Tamron AdaptAll Leica Mount on my new 24mm/2.5 Tamron. (The Tamron, while no Leica, is a remarkable value for those 'R' users who rarely use w/a and cannot justify the price of a Leitz/Leica w/a.) The mount works perfectly with my R6 (also with my R5 - before I destroyed it) but when mounted on the R8, the viewfinder indicates the aperture is set to f22, no matter where it's set! And the camera computes the exposure accordingly! When the shutter is released the lens stops down to whatever f-stop is actually set, so that part's OK, but the metering is impossible. I have examined the mount carefully and nothing appears to be sticking or out of place. Has anybody had this experience, or know what's wrong? Many thanks. - ---------- David Young Please note: New Email Address: DnR@horizon.bc.ca - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
