Leicaflex Sl/Sl2 Lenses Without R Control Cam; Visoflex Lenses On The Leica R9 - Leica R9 Bedienungsanleitung

LEICAFLEX SL/SL2 lenses without
R control cam
Leicaflex model lenses and accessories (without the
R control cam) may not be used on the LEICA R9, as
they can damage the camera. If they are to be
used on the LEICA R9 or other Leica R cameras
(from the LEICA R3), they must be fitted with the
R control cam.
It is generally possible to modify these lenses;
the Leica Camera AG Customer Service depart-
ment will be happy to advise you (see p. 203 for
address).
As long as the LEICAFLEX SL/SL2 control cams
are retained, the modified lenses and accesso-
ries can still be used on all Leicaflex models.
Contact strips for data transmission to the LEICA R9
cannot then be added.

VISOFLEX lenses on the LEICA R9

All lenses from the Leica M range that fit on the
VISOFLEX can also be used on the LEICA R9
with an adapter, order No. 14167. The respective
situation parameters, e.g. subject distance and
attainable image ratio are the same as when the
lenses are used on the VISOFLEX. There is no
automatic diaphragm, which means that the
exposure time is metered with the diaphragm
stopped down.
