Shac Posted May 22, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted May 22, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just acquired an SL2 and a 60 Macro-Elmarit (all 3 cams). I am trying to find out which 1:1 adapter I would need for the 60mm? Could someone please provide guidance. Thank you in advance David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Hi Shac, Take a look here 14198 or 14256 MACRO-ADAPTER R? help requested. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jc_braconi Posted May 22, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted May 22, 2011 14256 is the latest version, replaces the 14198 adaptor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildlightphoto Posted May 22, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted May 22, 2011 14256 is the latest version, replaces the 14198 adaptor. Â 14256 will not fit on the SL2 without modification, and even after modification will not meter at full aperture. Of the original-equipment options, 14198 is best with this lens and SL or SL2. Another option (which I prefer) is a 14198 modified to fit nearly any R lens, not just the 60 Macro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shac Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share #4 Â Posted May 22, 2011 Thank you both. Doug - I read about the mod on your web site. Didn't want to bug you again as you have been so helpful. So does the 14198 allow metering at full aperture on the SL2? Also unless I read it incorrectly was it the 14256 that you modified using the rear mount of the 14198? Thanks David PS I was planning to stick with just one lens for the SL2:rolleyes: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildlightphoto Posted May 22, 2011 Share #5 Â Posted May 22, 2011 ... does the 14198 allow metering at full aperture on the SL2? Â Yes. Â Also unless I read it incorrectly was it the 14256 that you modified using the rear mount of the 14198? Â To use the 14256 on a Leicaflex you'd put the rear mount from the 14198 on the 14256. No full-aperture metering on the SL2. Â My preferred extension tube is a modified 3-cam 14198. It works on all Leica reflex bodies with full-aperture metering on all except the Leicaflex Standard. I've removed the shroud that would have covered the 60 Macro's aperture ring and modified the 14198's front flange to use R-only lenses as well as Leicaflex lenses. The only disadvantage of this modified 14198 is that you have to remember to set the lens to its minimum aperture (i.e., f/22) and use the aperture ring on the extension tube instead. Â PS I was planning to stick with just one lens for the SL2:rolleyes: Â If you can stick to this plan any un-modified 14198 will work fine and cost the least.

Shac Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share #6 Â Posted May 23, 2011 Doug - thank you. This was most helpful (as always) Sticking to the plan however, is another matter Sincerely David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
