Every user of Summicron-C 40 / M-Rokkor 40 / Voigtlander Nokton Classic 40 should have known the 35mm framelines can be activated by not fully rotate the lens to click when mounting, because there is a little bit of extrusion on the part of the flange for frameline activation. The main finding and conclusion from me is: this method works if the lens focus cam is the parallel style, which means the CLE version M-Rokkor (with serial numbers on barrel) and Voigtlander 40/1.4 benefit from this trick. When the focus cam is parallel, it couples with the lever in body by purely back and forth motions. So rotating the lens a bit backward does not affect the focus cam positions. On the other hand, the sloped focus cam used on Summicron-C 40 and the early M-Rokkor 40 made for CL brings trouble when you do the incomplete mounting trick. The coupling lever does not stay in place once you rotate the lens: as the focus cam is sloped, the lever will contact with the lower part of the cam, indicating a closer position to the rangefinder. It means the lens now is unable to be focused at infinity position, most obviously, and always focus a bit closer through out the 0.8m-infinity range. -
Hi all, i'm new to the forum because, hopefully, i'm getting my first Leica this friday. Can anybody give things to look out for or pay special attention too... it comes with 2 extra batteries, a grip op some sorts and a protection film, the seller has invited me to come over and take a look at it, so i was hoping for some tips from you guys... so right now!!! Cheers from Belgium! -
Since many are just now getting their cameras, and some have been very good in offering suggestions in the use of the camera it is helpful to offer a place to share user experiences. How about those that have ideas how best to set up and use the Q, post their tips here. I am happy to start. Using the Function button has been helpful in making quick changes to settings. Hold down for a couple of seconds and you can quickly pick up a new setting for the FN button. I use the meter function as my standard FN function but sometimes will use to set for Jpeg images which I have configured to B/W. Cheers
