Hi folks, I appreciate this thread on the 21/4 SA because I have one and
seldom use it. I have an R6 and R8 and just assumed that with only two
'thingys' (I'm having a bad senior moment) on the rear of the lens---hah!
I remembered, cams, I assumed this lens did not work well because of
the weird readings I get in the viewfinder. I haven't used the R6
lately, but in the R8, I get all sorts of aperture readings.
It always seems in focus but I don't understand the exposure
problems. Maybe I need to learn about zone shooting. What is it?
Thanks
Charles
Hi Charles!
Easy to fix your "weird readings". Have your favourite technician install
the 'third cam" on your 21. Two cam lenses will not work with the meter of
any 'R' series camera.
If you unclear about the different Leica cams, try:
http://teachnet.edb.utexas.edu/~leica/cam101.html
and http://www.kbcamera.com/rcams.htm.
Zone focusing simply relates to setting the distance scale by 'guess' and
using the lens stopped down to increase the DOF and thus reduce
errors. Got that?
Cheers!
