Leica R lenses

All lenses and lens accessories from the Leica R
range fit the LEICA R9 without any modifications.
Some earlier lenses without automatic dia-
phragm, as well as various accessories without
automatic diaphragm, can only be used in aper-
ture priority or manual modes (see "Stop-down
metering", p. 141).

R cam (a) and electric contacts (c)
Most Leica R lenses can be fitted with an electric
contact strip for data transmission and electronic
exposure compensation. To do this, however, the
LEICAFLEX SL/SL2 control cams must be removed,
i.e. these lenses can then only be used on Leica
R models (from LEICA R3).
