[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've downsized my R system and no longer have the 35mm Summicron R,
which was not a very good lens in any case (3 brand new samples over a
period of 10 years or so), but don't recall any problems using it on the
SL.
Are you sure there's not a problem with your SL's lens mount ?

Karen,
You should add the 35 Summicron R as not backward compatible. SL2 is
fine, SL bodies do not allow mounting. Mine is the first generation 35
Summicron, so I assume the second will not as well.

Subject: [Leica] New: Leicaflex SL and Leica R lens page
While in Minnesota, I came across a man who was selling his ex-wife's
Leicaflex SL kit out of the divorce. I asked multiple times to make
sure this was kosher, but apparently he gained possession although he
didn't particularly want them. In any case, I picked up a Leicaflex
SL kit for about half of what it was worth on the open market (even
given ebay-driven depreciation). I've updated my classic camera site
with information on the two:

Suggestions and fixes are more than welcome.
