wlaidlaw Posted May 13, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 13, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Whereas I love the performance of my 1999 Special Edition LTM Series 5 50mm Summicron on my LTM cameras, I really miss not having a focus tab or even a bump on it. Apart from anything else, you don't have a tactile reference of where the lens is focussed, when you first bring the RF to your eye. I thought I would try a TAAB https://www.lenstab.com/product/taab-mini/ on the Summicron. I went for the Mini size as it would seem that it would just stretch to fit the Summicron. Well it was a struggle to get it on, needing for it to be soaked in boiling water to soften it and using a wooden skewer to lever it on. However now it is on, whereas not as good as an original tab, is a lot better than nothing. The circular strap is toothed on the inside so that it will not slip. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

pico Posted May 13, 2017 Share #2 Posted May 13, 2017 That looks good, Wilson. Have you seen this post as another approach? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted May 13, 2017 Jac, I think the TAAB is a little neater, especially when used on small LTM cameras. Having had something made by S K Grimes in the past, I bet the TAAB at $10 is a lot cheaper! Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
