Hi again, Richard!
A short while ago, I said (in part):
.... BTW: "3rd cam only" and the newest ROM lenses are not common
That's what I get for adding thoughts after I've written the
note! "3rd cam only" lenses are, indeed, not common. Very few have
been made, mostly in 50 and 35mm fls. They work only with "R"
cameras, not the original Leicaflex or SL series. ROM lenses, use
the space originally occupied by the first cam for the ROM
contacts. Thus, they also only work on "R" series bodies. However,
the ROM can only be read by the R8 & R9 and is only used to set the
variable reflector on some electronic flash guns. Otherwise, it has
little functional value.
Just so we're clear...
Cheers!
