MerijnvZ Posted August 2, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 2, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello all, Stupid question maybee, but I need your help, Forum! My first Leica was a Summicron-R 1:2/90. I bought it modified to Nikon F-mount in Sydney and used it quite well on my D7000. Bought another Summicron, the 35 V2 and was a happy camper. Now I have an M8 to use for the digital shooting and I use my dad's R-E with the remodded 35mm. The 90 though is standing on my desk, not being used at all because I do not have the parts to unmodify it back to R mount. So my question is, how to get parts to unmod it? - R mount - 2 cams - filler plates - dustscreen - what I might forget... Leica Wetzlar can do it, but it will cost me a couple of hundred euro...

duckrider Posted August 3, 2015 Share #2 Posted August 3, 2015 There is this cheap offered tube set. E.g.: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Leica-Zwischenring-14158-1-2-/301682318621?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item463daadd1d Taking from the last ring the bayonet mount and adapting it to your lens should be cheapest solution.

wildlightphoto Posted August 3, 2015 Share #3 Posted August 3, 2015 A used 14198 macro adapter made originally for the 60mm Macro-Elmarit-R has the flange and 2 cams. The third cam may or may not be present, and you'll want it to use the lens on the R-E; if the 14198 does have the 3rd cam it's likely you'll see an inaccurate aperture readout in the viewfinder with R cameras that have this (does the R-E? I don't remember and I'm guessing not). The light baffle will be difficult to come by without going through Leica. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpitt Posted August 3, 2015 Share #4 Posted August 3, 2015 Why not sell it to someone using Nikon? Then buy an other good 3-cam sample with standard R bayonet. This might be the cheapest and best solution anyway... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan.y Posted August 10, 2015 Share #5 Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) I was in a similar situation having to convert a R35/1.4 from Nikon back to R mount. The lens did come with the original components, but I wasn't sure what two of the pieces are for. They may be the "fillers" that the OP refers to. They're those thin metal pieces with holes in them. Are these shims or spacers for the cams? One of them is pictured in the middle of the attached photo (taken from Leitax.com). Thank you.

wildlightphoto Posted August 10, 2015 Share #6 Posted August 10, 2015 It's a shim for one of the cams. Which one I can't say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
