}{B Posted October 21, 2015 Share #1  Posted October 21, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I picked up an example of this lens recently and so far I'm very pleased with it.  It feels solidly built and weighs in at 260 grams. In size it is almost the same as the Elmar M except that when retracted the tube of the Heliar does not intrude into the camera body as does that of the Elmar. An advantage perhaps when used on digital Ms? It also uses the same 39mm filter thread as many of the M range of lenses.  A couple of photos comparing the Heliar and the Elmar M.  Welcome, dear visitor!

TomB_tx Posted October 21, 2015 Share #3  Posted October 21, 2015 I have the rigid version of this lens (Heliar Nickel), and agree it is better than I expected. Mine is LTM mount, and is nice on Barnak Leicas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing: due to the constructure of the lens it is not possible to code the lens because of the place of a screw just where to apply the coding marks.  Best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
