Is it possible to use older Nikkor lenses on a Leica R body? It seems the other way round is possible, but I would be interested to use a Nikon Nikkor lens on a Leica R camera. I assume it is not possible to use Nikon lenses on analgue Leica M bodies. Lex

Hey dear Leica community, I recently got two offers for two Leica cameras. The first one is a Leicaflex (The original one, no TTL) with a Summicron 50mm f/2 (V1) and the second offer was a Leica R4 with a 35-70 f/3.5. I even got an offer for a Leica R3 (Made in Germany!) for around the same price. All cameras (inculding the lens) are somewhere from 250€ - 300€ (245$-290$) Which one should I buy, I am very new to the Leica world, since I mainly used Nikon yet. Or should i sell my whole Nikon System to get a Leica M camera? Greetings from Germany

Hello Community, I am planing to buy a Leica R4 with a 35-70 mm f/3.5 for 260€ (252USD). First of all, is that a good deal? I am very new to the Leica world, and is the 35-70mm a good lens? The second thing is, do you guys know any common Problems of the Leica R4, so I can check the Leica before buying it? That would be awsome Greetings from Germany Florian

Hi, I'm a relatively new Leica user - I've just been using the Leica R3, and after getting my film back, it seems I need to re-seal my camera. Though, when I bought it, the seller told me that the light seals had already been replaced right before selling. My question is - does it look like this light leak is coming from the canister window - and if so, can I just tape it up? I've ordered foam seals but I've got a trip coming up and I don't think that they're going to arrive in time. Thanks, Kerr

Dear Leica Forum Comunity, i got my Leica Sl over 1 Year ago, and it might sound crazy, but i only used 3 EF-lenses Adapted to it. After some thinking, I decided to get some new glas, namly L mount glas. As much as i would love to get Leica lenses, i simply can not afford it. So i looked arround what i could use. I now come to a point were i have to make a decision. Is it more worth it to get Sigma glas, or more to get older R-lenses and adapt it to the SL. It would be great if someone could tell their experience using either of them on the SL Thanks for your replies Herbert

Hi! I have a mint Leica R7, worked always without any issue but today I noticed when attaching the Summicron the "A" (full and centered) modes were no displaying when changing the modes (it displayed "m" and even the controls were manual), the same for the program mode (where it said time priority"). is it possible that maybe the metal contact of the selector needs a clean or the electronic has a big problem? or what can it be? (the lens I'm using is a "R only" lens, I had the R4s2 before and it functioned in all modes with no problems) Thanks

Hi there, I'm new here, from Chile, and need some advice: I have seen a LEICA bellows (16 880) on the Website of a danish photographer, called Thorsten von Overgaard. I'd like to buy one and went on eBay, but these bellows seem to be sold out, perhaps because of the recommendation on that website (scroll down): https://www.overgaard.dk/Leica-M-Type-240-aka-Leica-M10-digital-rangefinder-camera-page-33-The-Leica-R-Lenses-on-Leica-M240-Catwalk.html I wouldn't want to put a blue NOVOFLEX bellows on my LEICA camera, so a new one doesn't do the trick for me. I'm a bit old-fashioned and so for my esthetics a bellows has to be black . . . Would somebody of you out there know, where I could possibly buy a 16880 bellows in MINT conditions? Or which one would be a good alternative to that 16880? What I need that bellows for is to be able to shoot photos in my house, while being confined through that epidemia. I'd take similar photographs as this Overgaard chap, you can look at his at the website (see link above). Very much looking forward to your posts, Peter -

Gents, I managed to hit "Buy it now" by "accident" and am now the (maybe) happy owner of a R5 Body :-) I'm tryint to go through all the different buttons and film transport, only 18 Photos taken so far but plan on sacrificing a roll of film just to see if this one has a transport problem like my R3, which is a bit temperamental at times in this regard. So what I can't recall is what sound the shutter/mirror should make for different shutter speeds! e.g does it sound different if I set a manual speed of e.g. 125 vs 2000???? This one as far as I can determine sounds identical and I can't recall what my R3 and R4 sound like. OK I just told myself to go and test one of them but I should nevertheless like to get your feedback as I shall provide such to the Seller too, and would like to give him a positive as the Camera looks and feels great. Thanks in advance Preben P.S. To my untrained ear the R4 sounds the same regardless of shutter speed, tested in "M" mode

Hi everyone, I'm a photographer and also someone interested in film fotography and repair, I'm from Portugal and I'm new here and kind of really need some whelp here. So, I receive this lens to repair, and the diagnost was simple, someone have been messing up with the lens and as left a lot of screws just hanging inside the lens! I start to unscrew the outer srews on the mount, and al fine, until a realize the whole lens was just there juggling inside. My problem now is to try and take out the front element, how do I do that? There is no screws or holes on the front element. Any Idea? Thank you in advance

I have bought a Leica R 80mm lens. But in the M240 setting menu I only can find M lens(like 75mm and 90mm) That's no 80mm in the list. How can I let the camera recognize the 80mm lens? Thanks:)

Angekündigt wurde er ja, der Leica Adapter R auf T. Zur Zeit muss man sich entweder mit _ Drittherstellerware (z.B Novoflex - aber ich denke der chinesische Hinterhofdreher ist schon an der Arbeit ) oder _ der Kombination der Leica Adapter R ->M + M->T aushelfen. Letze Kombination reicht laut Aussage von Jono den Barcode "R-Objektiv" an die SL weiter und das Auswahlmenue für die R-Objketive öffnet sich. Meine Frage ist bei dem angekündigtem Leica R-> T "Direkt Adapter" angedacht die Objektivinfos der R-Objektive mit ROM (Objektivdaten, Entfernung) weiterzureichen ?

Hey guys, maybe nice to revive the R series a bit, and I don't mean R lenses on M bodies or other digital hocuspocus. Except maybe the DM-R... This thread serves to post images taken with a Leica R camera, and Leica R Prime or zoom lenses. Please while posting tell us the the camera model, lens and film. Or as much as you know so others can learn about the combinations that have made it possible for you to take the photo. Here is a example. #1 Leica R8 - Kodak Gold 200 - Summilux-R 1:1,4/80mm

Hello fellow forum members, I've written a article about the Summilux-R 80mm lens, and how it performs on the R8, and on the M (Typ 240) with R-M adapter, and EVF2. You can read it here: Summilux-R 80 on the Leica R8 and M (Typ 240) | Jip van Kuijk Here are two preview shots but there is plenty more in the article itself:

Hello guys, I've got this question, when you buy a summarit or R lens new the rubber on the focussing ring is usually black-black... but after a while it usually turns greyish at some parts... Now my question is is there some 'product' that can give the rubber back its blackness. My idea is that it turns 'white/greyish' when it 'dries' out... or something... Now I really don't know nothing about rubber, or plastic rubbers. So please enlighten me! Thanks!

This is going to be a bit of a newbie question as I am sure that folks on this forum probably hate the idea of mating a zoom to a rangefinder. I use a number of primes with my M and love them all but for the sake of occasional convenience and longer focal lengths I am considering an M-R adapter with possibly a Vario Elmar 70-210 or preferably the 80-200 (assuming I can find either). Does anyone have any experience of either of these two lenses on an M and are they any good? Is one better than the other because I notice that the 80-200 f/4 is a heck of a lot more money - if you can find one. Thanks for any advice.

Dear ALL, I am posting this thread here seeking your suggestion. I am going to Alaska for a month from August-Sept. I do have both Canon (800/5.6 IS, and other Canon lenses, Canon latest Body) and also Leica DMR+R9 and Leica Modul system 400/2.8, may get 1.4X or 2X Modul making my system 800/5.6 and do have other R lenses too. I am in dilema whether to bring the Leica or Canon system with me thinking that Leica would be better in terms of sharpness and color saturation but Canon is AF, faster motor, IS. Also the charge on Battery for DMR does not last long. Would be great to hear your experience and thought. Thanking you all and looking forward to hearing from you.

Dear All, As per the reviews (Sony A99 Review), Sony A99 body has Image Stabilisation in the body itself and IS functions perfectly with even old Zeiss and Maxum lenses. I am basically Canon and Leica R shooter, never have had experience with Sony system. I am thinking it would be a great solution to use Leica R lenses with Leitax mount with Sony A99 and enjoy the IS facility especially the Tele R lenses/Modul system. Any experience and/or thought about it? Thanking you all in advance. Photography in Nature - Dhruba Kumar Sapkota

Hi everyone, I'm new here and hope someone can help me. I bought a leica R 50mm summicron made in Canada 2780309. The glass is almost perfect like the body. Focus and aperture are also in good shape. The problem I got is related with a focus issue. I can focus right but the scale doesn't match. To focus far away (almost infinity) the focus scale is between 8 and 10 feet.Not match between be in focus to infinity and the scale reading. Is like the breath's focus is shorter. I'm shooting with m4/3 mount. How can that be? Best regards. Francisco

Hallo welcher ist der beste Adapter für Leica R Objektive an EOS? Möglichst einer mit dem der Autofocus mit Hilfslicht funktioniert. Ich habe die 6D, Ich habe schon einen Adapter aus China über Ebay. Der ist nicht schrlecht aber ich finde ihn etwas instabil und wenn man Pech hat, fällt das Objektiv ab. Er sollte schon stabil sein. Danke Paul

Hallo, was bedeutet "mit 60 mm Gewinde" , z. B. bei einer Anzeige "Leica Macro Elmarit-R 60mm 2.8 mit 60mm Gewinde" ist das etwas anderes als das "normale" Leica R Objektiv? Danke
