Hiya

I note from test reports that some leica lenses might protrude to far into the R2 body for correct metering. I have a 21 2.8 apsh and it does protrude more than my 35 lens but the focus is internal and doesn`t look too bad.

anyone got any ides or have the combination.

Thanks

Dave,

See Stephen Gandy's Cameraquest for details. In sum: older 21 and 28mm lens and Russian Rossar 20/5.6 won't fit. Avoid collapsable lenses--you might damage the shutter curtain.

The R2 M mount is an improvement over the old Bessa T. Still, Leica Lenses are a tiny bit wobblie.
