Its an M39 mount so obviously not rangefinder coupled. Was playing with it on my M10 in our yard using my EVF. Its a bit hard to focus as everything looks out of focus through the EVF with this one. I probably wont use it much, but its a bit of fun. I had to crop these otherwise I have some very severe vignetting going on. Was nice to just buy something from the Ukraine Here's a few cat pics...

Hi, Why wouldn't an m39 lens not be rangefinder coupled? I have a good number of m39 lenses and when mounted, with an m39 to M adaptor, on my M9-P (no evf) these are definitely rangefinder coupled.

An illustration and to adhere to the wishes of the threadstarter The wrong M39 adapter? There's one for the 28/90 mm focal length. If you use a different one, such as 50/75, you can screw in the lens and attach it to the M. But it won't actually work. Just a guess.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, this would only bring up the wrong set of lines in the viewfinder. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the Industar 69 does have an E39 thread it should be noted that it wasn't designed to be used on a FED / Zorki / Leica type camera. Firstly it doesn't have the neccessary R/F cam so can't be focussed by using the rangefinders of the cameras mentioned. Secondly the back-projection distance is shorter than that used by the aforementioned cameras so even using a 'guesstimate' as far as camera-to-subject distance concerned is difficult. Thirdly it was designed to be used on a half-frame (18x24) camera and, as such, it doesn't have the covering-power neccessary for a full-frame body - hence the severe vignetting mentioned by mmanda. A bit more about these lenses can be found here for anyone who might be curious; https://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Chajka Anyhow; another snap of a cat taken on an Old Lens. Here's Scrap tucking-in.

pippy Posted June 3 Share #15132 Posted June 3 Apropos the knackered Summar mentioned in post #15176 (and just for fun) I've rattled-off a couple of snaps for the sake of comparison to show something of what I was trying to describe. First - sort-of serving as a 'normal' datum - was shot using a 50mm Summicron v4. The second was taken with the knackered 'Summ-bar'. Camera-subject distance was dictated by Summar's MFD and both lenses were set to f4.5; 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! OK; it will never be used for normal snapping (😸) but there's something about the truly terrible rendering of the Summar which rather appeals!...
