I've got a Russian KMZ (Soviet) made f:8 500mm MTO Maksutov-Cassegrain lens I
thought I would put in front of my R4 just for kicks. Yea, yea, I know about
bokeh donuts and all that - this is for fun, not for serious. I've got a M39
to Leica R adaptor coming in from China as I write this. This 1950's circa MTO
is threaded for M39. I'm not sure I'll get infinity focus - but, oh well, it's
my only telephoto till I can afford something nice and Leitz.
So... Here is my goofy question. As the lens does not have f stops, I assume I
use the camera in (m) manual mode and match up the speed with... f:8 - right?
The lens comes with a neutral density filter I could use in place of smaller
stops if needed. Anybody ever done this before?
