eziomi Posted October 1, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 1, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Probably this topic has been already covered in other threads, but I wasn't able to find a definitive answer yet. Is it possible to use an ELMAR-M 50 mm f/2.8 collapsible, last generation lens, on the M9 ? Anyone did it ? I didn't received my M9 yet, but I did use the ELMAR-M 50 mm f/2.8 on my M8 without problems with tube extended or retracted. Thanks in advance.

luigi bertolotti Posted October 1, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 1, 2009 Almost all collapsible lenses are OK onto M9... with the blessing of M9 Product Manager (Stefan Daniel - interviewd here under ) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are all the old lenses compatible? DANIEL: They are all compatible except the dual range Summicron, except the Hologon 15mm, and you can use the 90 f/4 collapsible out of the 1960s but you must never collapse it. Other collapsibles can go in? DANIEL: Yes they can. Unlike the M8… DANIEL: Yes. The reason is that the space of full frame is much larger behind the bayonet than it was on the M8. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M9s are starting to spread in Milano, Torino... not yet in Brescia...

tom0511 Posted October 1, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 1, 2009 I have tried it and in my case it works. I believe it is also mentioned in the manual that it should work. no guarantee I am correct though. I think with full frame the 50/2.8 is a very interesting lens again. I plan to carry this here and then as a small beautiful one lens-combo. First comparison with the 50asph indicates the 50/2.8 isnt bad-not as contrasty as the asph lens but still not dull at all. very nice drawing IMO.
