hugocravo Posted March 19, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 19, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey! Someone to help me? I just bought a M8 and a Rigid Summicron 50mm f/2, but i can't use focus beyond five meters, because its locked. The focus ring does not move some way that seems its something in the M8 body that does not allow the ring movement. The problem only appears when the lens is fitted in the M8, cos outside the ring shows no problem, and moves completely. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted March 19, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 19, 2011 Yours is a "dual range" perhaps (pic). If so it won't fit the M8. See Summicron 50 mm advice - Leica User Forum. Welcome, dear visitor!

hugocravo Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted March 19, 2011 DSC_9175a (1) | Flickr - Photo Sharing! its my lens. I think its not the Dual Range, but the Standard Rigid Summicron. Its strange because it fits on the m8 body, but i can't use focus beyond 5m. Im thinking it can be a problem with the telemeter arm... Could it be? Thanks for help.

lct Posted March 19, 2011 Share #4 Posted March 19, 2011 Looks like a dual range w/o goggles i'm afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugocravo Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks for the information. So, the dual range does not even fits on the m8? Because my summicron fits on my m8, but does not move the focus ring completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted March 21, 2011 Share #7 Posted March 21, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) It fits when mounted extended, but focussing to infinity is blocked. You can find this in your manual. Be careful not to damage the finish on the inside of the camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
