kzia Posted January 12, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 12, 2009 Nice little lens, still have it. Will try it on my new Panasonic G1 when it arrives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gvaliquette Posted January 13, 2009 Share #4 Posted January 13, 2009 Thank you kzia. Did you get significant vignetting on full frame cameras with it? I also have this lens and like it for what it does. No, no significant vignetting on film; I have not used on the DMR yet. Do remember to meter BEFORE shifting the lens.

Ivar B Posted January 13, 2009 Share #6 Posted January 13, 2009 If you have an R model, take care that the lens is equipped with the R cam. Even if this is a manual aperture lens, this needs to be in place to ensure proper metering. I cannot recall from which serial number this was added, but other forum members may know.

Alhough if it's anything like the later PC Super Angulon, the third R cam will simply be the vestigial "static cam" variant, which looks completely different from the usual moving R cam.

lct Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted January 13, 2009 Would you say that one or two cams are missing here? Welcome, dear visitor!

masjah Posted January 14, 2009 Share #9 Posted January 14, 2009 Would you say that one or two cams are missing here? Lct It looks exactly like the cams on my PC Super Angulon. The small thing that looks a bit like an angle bracket is the vestigial static third ® cam. The black circumferential cam (to its right on one of your pictures) is the static second cam for the SL and SL2. I presume therefore that the lens can be used in the same way as my PC Super Angulon, which, according to the instruction manual, can be used with SL, SL2 and R cameras (though not the very first original Leicaflex). Hope this helps! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share #10 Posted January 14, 2009 Sure it does thank you much John. I don't expect problems with my 5D, except vignetting perhaps, but i'd like to use this lens with a digital R if any. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpattison Posted January 14, 2009 Share #11 Posted January 14, 2009 Here are two taken with the original Schneider 35 PA on my Canon 40D (1.6x factor) The supermarket shot was full vertical shift, no PP. The lens is restricted to 7mm shift (in any direction) and I didn't see any vignetting on my R8 slides. John Welcome, dear visitor!

Yes, this is correct. It is the same principle with the older manual Telyt lenses. However, it comes to mind that I at one time exchanged some e-mails with Leica Information Service about this. I was told that the actual person at Leica did not bother to have the R cam installed as the resulting under exposure was at least consistent, and he just corrected it with the ISO setting. I am sure there are other users who have more experience with this than I have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivar B Posted January 14, 2009 Share #14 Posted January 14, 2009 Would you say that one or two cams are missing here? I believe I can see the R cam just above the screw in the second photo to the right, so this should be one of the later models. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ivar. The copies i'm after have serial numbers between 3,000,000 and 3,200,000. Are these later models? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
