JWW Posted March 23, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted March 23, 2012 Not a direct answer but wanted to let you know I wanted a tab on a 50mm Summicron so I ended up buying a version 4 instead that is same optical as current but comes with a tab (and no built in hood). You may want to look into this instead of modifying a current version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbanting Posted March 26, 2012 Share #4  Posted March 26, 2012 I read a suggestion, which must have been on this Forum, to use a cable tie. I have a 50mm Summicron with no focus tab so I fitted a black cable tie around the grooved focus ring. I had to smooth the cut end of the plastic. It's not an elegant solution but it is inexpensive to try and it does work OK for me. I placed the tab so it is at 6 o clock with the lens focussed at 4 feet. It has been attached for a couple of years now. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

doubice Posted March 26, 2012 Share #5  Posted March 26, 2012 I bought this from 'heavystar' on eBay:  2 x Leica M Camera Lens Focusing Handle in Mint | eBay  Needs to be attached (2 screws) - I performed the surgery myself but, any competent technician should be able to help.  Cheers,  Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
