SL Objektive mit Steuernocken nachrüsten

Hallo zusammen, ich habe aus einem Nachlass eine Leicaflex SL mit zwei Objektiven (summicron r 2:50 und vario-elmar r 4:70-210) bekommen.

Leider ist die SL defekt und da ich günstig an einen schönen R3 (mot electronic) Body gekommen bin, dachte ich, ich nutz einfach diesen….denkste

Die Objektive haben beide die einfache Steuerkurve. Daher zwei Fragen bei denen ich durch Googlen noch nicht ganz schlau geworden bin:

1. kann ich die Objektive nicht trotzdem nutzen und einfach für die Belichtungsmessung die Abblendtaste drücken?

2. kann ich irgendwo an diese dreistufigen Steuernocken kommen um die Objektive nachzurüsten?

Besten Dank vorab!

Alex

1. I've tried my original "2-cam" Leicaflex SL lenses on my R3 mot electronic, and when you stop-down the lens with the aperture button it will show a matching shutter speed in the finder, but mine isn't as accurate as with a converted lens.

2, Getting parts to convert the lenses to 3-cam is a problem, as Leica sold all their R model parts years ago. About 10 year ago I sent one of my 2-cam SL lenses to have it upgraded by a well-known independent Leica technician. After a year I asked about it and she reported they were still trying to get the parts. After another year it was returned with a 3-cam set installed, but they had replaced the lens mounting flange with one that wouldn't fit the Leicaflex SL - so I had to modify the mount to be able to use it on both cameras.

Thanks for your response Tom!

I just realized that the 70-210 is a 3cam 🤩 so everything works fine with that one.

and about the summicron, I think I will just try it out with the aperture button and see how good that works.
 

Maybe someday I’ll find another SL…but I kind of like the R3
