Super Angulon 21/4 + rd1 = ?

I was wondering if the Leica SA 21mm f/4 will work on the Epson r-d1 without damage?

 

I did use it on the M8 without incident. The r-d1 manual prohibits the SA 21/4 and SA 21/3.4, and says the lenses "may touch the inner parts of the camera." However, a search of Flickr for the r-d1 shows a number of 21/3.4 users and one 21/4 user.

 

So has anyone actually used the SA 21 f/4 on their r-d1? Thanks in advance for any info.

To clarify, I am asking if it hits something when you mount it, or if the shutter drags against the rear, etc.

 

I know it won't meter and will vignette strongly, is that what you meant? Thanks.

In use, the 21/4 does not seem to have any clearance problem on the M8. The lens is not on the prohibited list in the M8 instructions, and I could not find any reports of problems.

There is a happy user of a SA over at the DPR Leica forum - "polarabbit".

 

He has posted a few interesting sets with the SA recently.

As he uses the R-D1 and digital M cameras, it might be possible, that he has some insight in the compatibility.

 

I don't know, if the sets, he posted are made with the R-D1 though.

 

Search for "Super Angulon" and "More Colors" and you will find the sets.
