28mm PC Super Angulon Compatability

I am currently acquiring the 28mm PC R Super Angulon, obstensibly for film use with an R3. However, reading forums and looking at Leica's website, there seems to be a conflict on which digital cameras this lens can be used on. I am only interested in manual focus (and would would only use manual aperture setting but I believe this is not possible).

Some forums say the lens can be used on an SL with an adapter yet Leica says no. Similarly, can it be used on a CL with an adapter?

I look forward to members' views.

Hello Glasto,

I use one PC-Super-Angulon-R 2.8/28mm (this one in Wiki link)

I use it on Leica R, Leica M with adapter without any flaw for decades.

The aperture is manual only which closes down with a separate lever.

Manual focus only of course.

 

The only "flaw" in PC-S-A 28mm is the filter holding system by the hood needing a special EW67 very scarse or not available.

So when I want to use PC with common filter size "E52" or "E72", I use PC-Nikkor (shift 35mm or 28mm ) mainly for Monochrom + colored filters 😉.
