TheGodParticle/Hari Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share #21 Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) 13 hours ago, M11 for me said: What does DR stand for in this context? Dual Range … it’s a mechanical marvel. Focuses normally from 0.9m to infinity, but if you pull the lens forward and twist it to the left side, you can slide it into the 0.5m - 0.9m range. Hence the nickname of Dual Range. The supplied goggles correct for parallax AND help with accurate focus from the 0.5-0.9m range. Optical quality is also top notch. Can’t help but admire the lens. It was challenging to use on digital M’s - see Andy’s post above ☝️ - but with the changed mount on the M10 and M11, this lens is now fully functional on digital bodies. Hence the rekindled love, and this thread 🎉🍻 Edited July 11, 2022 by TheGodParticle/Hari above not below 😬 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoF took care of focus, but I wouldn't risk damaging the M240 by trying it again. Mine is a 1958 example and it now sits permanently on my 1960 M2 (and therefore never used) Welcome, dear visitor!

Whilst I am a great fan of dark, moody, black & white, push-development pictures, this photograph reminds me that analogue pictures can be sparkling and colourful. And from a lens with quite a few years under its belt (through its aperture?) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, given the price of some film rolls that’s also a rather expensive activity at the moment 😓 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Able to focus from min distance (normal w/o goggles) to about 30 ft. Cannot focus to infinity hard stop on the lens. The DR gives lovely results! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosophos Posted July 17, 2022 Share #40 Posted July 17, 2022 Here's a little twist: I took the 50 Dual Range today for a drive... to the old Leica factory in Midland, Canada. Always wanted to make the trip, but somehow never got around to it until today. https://prosophos.com/2022/07/16/the-pilgrimage-to-midland/ It was a nice day, and I got some good photos, but not in Midland, LOL. —Peter.
