Doc Henry Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share #25282 Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Christoff - Thanks. There's no problem in using the DR sum micron on the film M cameras — it only needs to have the cam filed down for use of the digital Ms. After the filing down, it can still be used on the film Ms, but in the close-up range (with the goggles). When I had the cam filed down I did not expect ever to shoot film again. Now I regret it and wonder whether it's possible to find and old lens and have the cam replaced on mine. However, looking at it realistically, it's not such a big deal to have the 0.55-1.0m close-up range: in the dynamics of street photography, it's not that convenient to be switching to the close-up range whenever you need to focus at less than 1m. And if you want to do (moderate) macros the Macro-Elmar-90 has a much more useful close=up range. Yes I agree , sometimes the ME-90 is very useful for shooting far from the subject keeping the natural aspect and with the discreet and silent M system Click on the top , middle and right icone to enlarge : http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Doc+Henry/L1011987htcplednred1200.jpg.html Rg H Edited December 29, 2016 by Doc Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you want to do (moderate) macros the Macro-Elmar-90 has a much more useful close=up range. I understand your regrets. On one hand filing down the cam gives the Summicron DR a life in the digital age. On the other hand I personally really like the close focus abilities in combination with the soft rendering of the Summicron DR. So even it it will not fit on the M's with inbuilt meter - analogue or digital, I think I refrain from neutering the lens. A quick example of what I mean below: Welcome, dear visitor!
