geesbert Posted January 5, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 5, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Is it possible to mount a recent Elmar 50 onto the SOMKY? I read conflicting statements, some say one has to remove a baffle to make it work, some say it shouldn't fit. Is there anyone who actually tried to mount it? regards Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Hi geesbert, Take a look here SOOKY-M or SOMKY with a latest Elmar 50. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Is there anyone who actually tried to mount it? regards Stefan Yes I tried just now and I confirm that a baffle at the rear of the lens tube is covering the three lugs bayonet so you cannot connect it to the SOMKY.

geesbert Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted January 5, 2011 can you remove that baffle? I heard you can unscrew it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc_braconi Posted January 5, 2011 Share #4 Posted January 5, 2011 can you remove that baffle? I heard you can unscrew it. I do not recommend to unscrew this baffle, it can be damageous for the entire lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geesbert Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted January 5, 2011 that's a shame. I thought the elmar would be great with the somky. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delfi_r Posted January 6, 2011 Share #6 Posted January 6, 2011 You should find one of the lasts Elmars, not an Elmar-M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted January 7, 2011 Share #8 Posted January 7, 2011 SOMKY is a useful device also with M8 & M9... so, if you have it, I'd suggest to find a nice Elmar 50 red scale or an "old" Elmar 50 in BM; personally, I often use it with the old Summicron 50 lenshead, but with it you need the UOORF ring too (which is not difficult to find, anyway).
