Hugh 38 Posted May 29, 2017 Share #561 Posted May 29, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I like the R7 , I find it good to put on programme and off you go . When ever I fit on a motor drive I appear to encounter problems with the motor not fully talking to the camera or similar. I have two motors and have tried them on my R6 and R7 . Sometime I can get them to work . The above set up with the grip and strap is very comfortable to use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried cleaning the battery terminals with switch cleaner e.g. SERVISOL. dunk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFM Posted July 8, 2017 Share #565 Posted July 8, 2017 Very nice. I also bought an R7 about 18 months ago to use with a 28-90 Vario-Elmarit-R and 80-200 Vario-Elmar-M which I bought for use with my digital-M cameras & EVF. Seemed a bit stupid having these lovely film lenses and no film camera with which to use them. I then recently bought a 2.0/50 Summicron-R II to finish off the set. I'm very happy with the R7. It seems to get bypassed here in favour of earlier Rs or the R8/9. Although better cameras, I decided against the R8/9 based on size, and that the R7 was so cheap that I'd be happy dumping it for a replacement should it break down. I had the option of buying a very nice R6.2 which, although a beautiful mechanical camera that will probably outlive the R7, is just less versatile for me by not having an aperture priority exposure setting (I tend not to use the other Auto/Prog settings on the R7). I considered both but I don't use it enough to justify a second R body. Thanks, Mark. I've recently replaced the R4 drive with a plain R model so I can use the upper shutter release button on the grip, and I had to send the 28mm to Leica NJ for repair. Getting an R6.2 is in the plans, but will be far down the road. PF 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkCambridgeshire Posted August 5, 2017 Share #574 Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) 1972 vintage Leitz R Telyt-S 800/6.3 used in an observation hide yesterday with Leica TL2 … very limited edition lens; only 109 manufactured and most bought for surveillance purposes … but also used at 1972 Munich Olympics. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Yesterday was used with Leitz 1.4x and 2x APO extenders (including 1.4x and 2x in tandem … i.e. 2.8x extender) … with TL2 1.5x crop factor, resultant focal lengths: 1200mm, 1680mm, 2400mm and 3360mm. Lens was used with the 3360mm option but the image was a little wobbly … so used self timer and high ISO up to ISO 6400. Images not yet processed but will post on the forum if they are usable.

Keith (M) Posted August 5, 2017 Share #575 Posted August 5, 2017 Atmospheric conditions presumably play quite a role in the clarity of the results at those focal lengths. Mind you given the UK's summer, heat-haze is currently not a problem! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted August 5, 2017 Share #576 Posted August 5, 2017 That is some lens!! Is the optical cell like the other Telyts with the cemented doublet at the end of the barrel?? Similar … it's a triplet achromat i.e. three lens elements in one cemented group at the front of the tube … but very special glass mix … and a long lens hood. I pushed it too far yesterday by attempting to use stacked extenders i.e. 1.4x and 2x APO extenders … not a good idea on a windy day but was trying to take photos of cormorants at 140 meters distance. dunk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBestSLIsALeicaflex Posted August 8, 2017 Share #578 Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) At one time I had a couple of the original Leicaflex. The quality of craftsmanship was very high, and they were very smooth in operation. The smoothest advance lever of any Leica I've owned (M or R). A bright viewfinder and a sensitive meter for standard type lenses (35mm-90mm). But in the field I much preferred the Leicaflex SL. I ended up selling them on that auction site.

nocti lux Posted August 13, 2017 Share #580 Posted August 13, 2017 I believe that the R 90 Elmarit and the M 90 Elmarit are optically the same. . Indeed, so it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
