masjah Posted November 12, 2017 Share #21 Posted November 12, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) The 21-35mm Vario is a 'ROM' lens - are ROM lenses backwardly compatible with earlier R cameras? I am contemplating buying one for use with my R5. My copy of J. Eastland's 'R Compendium' predates the introduction of the contacts on the lens. Fine for R3 onwards, though of course only the R8/9 will gain benefit from the ROM chip. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 Hi masjah, Take a look here Vario-elmar 21-35mm lens for landscapes and cityscapes. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Bobitybob Posted November 12, 2017 Share #22 Posted November 12, 2017 I use mine with my R4 without any problems. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McGarrett Posted November 12, 2017 Share #23 Posted November 12, 2017 ROM lenses are like R-cam-only lenses... good from R3 onwards. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith (M) Posted November 13, 2017 Share #24 Posted November 13, 2017 Ordered this morning - due for delivery tomorrow (Tues) before noon Will check it out functionally on my M240 before venturing forth with my R5 and a roll of HP5Plus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith (M) Posted November 14, 2017 Share #25 Posted November 14, 2017 Well, here it is, locked & loaded as our transatlantic cousins might say... Pity it is such a miserably dull day but nevertheless I will get out & about at least making a start on the test roll. (I briefly tried it out on my M240 and the results are as good as one would expect). Welcome, dear visitor!

dkCambridgeshire Posted November 19, 2017 Share #27 Posted November 19, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) The 21-35R is a superb lens and I regret selling mine. However, now I have the 35-70/4 R lens (very usable at full aperture) my existing 21mm Super Angulon R lens takes care of most superwide views - the 21/4R is a superb lens when stopped down to f8 and can be bought for a third the price of the 21-35mm R. dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 35mm, 60mm & 90mm (all Elmarits) and decided that the 21-35mm Vario Elmar would add more choices to my R focal-range (and for my M240). Some results can be seen here from the test roll of HP5+ put through the R5 earlier this week. Initial impressions are that it is an exceedingly impressive lens 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellisson Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share #29 Posted November 19, 2017 I've been very pleased with this lens, a sample photo shown here taken on the R8. Welcome, dear visitor!
