leicanut2 Posted April 21, 2010 Share #1 Posted April 21, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have bin looking trying to find the length of the r and m tubes for the 400 and 560mm but no luck. Anyone have both? And could you please put a fast tape measure on them and let me know. Cheers Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Hi leicanut2, Take a look here Leica 400-560mm r and m tubes. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
tobey bilek Posted April 21, 2010 Share #2 Posted April 21, 2010 R is 7 1/8" M is 6 1/4" I did not include any portion of the chrome bayonet. I can put it in cm if you want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogopix Posted April 22, 2010 Share #4 Posted April 22, 2010 somewhere I have these lenses, but there are both 6.8 and 5.6 versions of the 400mm and 560mm. they also have the same front and different tubes for the rear objective. Are the 6.8 and 5.6 the same? Victor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicanut2 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted April 22, 2010 I never had the 5.6 ones but have had over the years a few 560mm f/6.8 and one 400mm f/6.8 should never sell a lens you always buy them back, well some of them at least, ha.

Are the 6.8 and 5.6 the same? Victor Yes, I just measured my 400s... the 6,8 looks shorter at a sight, for it's slimmer, but, not surprisingly, lens to flange distance is the same (so is for 560s, I think... but I have a single mount for the two 5,6 and am too lazy this evening, to dismount-remount... ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicanut2 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share #8 Posted April 22, 2010 I have bin hunting for the 6.8mm m tube. I think the m tubes must be getting rare because no hits at all. But I think I found one had to buy the 400mm lens to get it, the guy did not know if it was a R or M lens thats why I asked for the length of the mount tubes. So crossing my fingers. Thanks again Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicanut2 Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share #9 Posted April 24, 2010 Well lens came and he did not measure the tube right or was pulling my slinky because it turns out I am now the owner of a 400mm R lens. So still looking for the M tube , maybe I will pick up a old SL or SL2 Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
