I've installed latest firmware, mounted a 135 Elmarit 11211 and selected relative profile from R-Lenses list. Perspective control is not working. If I select Other Lenses->135mm perspective control do works. It works too, if I mount a Rom-Lens. The problem ist with non ROM lenses selected from R-Lenses List.
Does anybody have same problem?

what does it do when you select the 135 Elmarit? What adapter are you using?

I just tested my lenses from the R list and it works fine.

there is minimal moment possible on the 135.

I tried with every non ROM lenses I own. If I select them from R-Lenses list perspective doesn't work, rectangle stay fix in red colour. If I select Other lenses and then focal, it works perfectly. The adapter is the original Leica L-R.

Please check if you're on "Drive Mode Continuous", as this will deactivate the perspective control.

I just double checked this. You're right, it doesn't work. If I select the lens profile the PC stays red, if I only select the focal lenght it works. Seems to be a bug, I'll check with Leica on Monday.

SL2-S with R-adapter-L + APO 100 R.

I tried other non-ROM R lenses, no PC possible, if you use a ROM lens it works.

If you use a non-coded adapter (Novoflex) or the combination of Leica R-adapter-M and the M-adapter-L it also works. So this really looks like a bug in the FW.
