inglis Posted November 3, 2014 Share #1 Posted November 3, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) How do people focus with a Leica 1A close focus Elmar 50? I see mention of a close-focus version of the HFOOK rangefinder on the page linked below, but do not see any discussed or even advertised on the web. http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.en/index.php/FOKOS Are these available or is there another way to focus a close focus Elmar 50?

jerzy Posted November 5, 2014 Share #5 Posted November 5, 2014 Luigi, look at the drawing, right to the FOKOS. It hardly looks like a FOKOS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted November 6, 2014 Share #6 Posted November 6, 2014 Hu... I didn't noticed the drawing... it is indeed the drawing of a WINTU, not in relation with the photo... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted November 8, 2014 Share #7 Posted November 8, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Back to the topic, Leitz DID make a rangefinder of the "long" type with a dual scale (to 50 cm) to be used with an accessory lens (which made, within the RF mechanism, the same effect as the small RF superposed lenses of the well known NOOKY) : a rare and apparently uncoded item : Welcome, dear visitor!

I don't know if it was made properly for the Leica 1 with close focus Elmar... btw, seems to me that the close focus Elmar had an Imperial distance scale (to 1,5 ft) which look inconsistent with the meter scale of the dual range rangefinder...
