anyone uses a goggled Summicron 35/F2 ver. 1 on Konica Hexar RF?

[roundg]

any issue? as RF has the same physical baseline as Leica M, I suppose the goggled lens should be able to focus correctly on RF.

Thanks,

Hi Robin,

I don't own one personally, but I did try one on my Hexar in a shop once and it seemed to work just fine.

Dear Bob,

Thanks for the kind reply. I will try once the lens arrived.

I have a Summicron 35f2.0 with goggles and I am wondering if I can use it with my M6? I was told I could but I haven't tried it?

I have such a lens and I will try to use it on a Hexar RF and M6. It should work fine. The goggles will widen the view, but the VF frames should still be fine. Am I correct on this one?

Yes, you can. It was designed for the M3, since that only had 50 as the widest frame, but will work fine with the later M's too, since the windows are in the same positions. I use a goggled summaron 35mm f/3.5 w/ both my M3 and M6TTL.

Raid- it'll pull up what are usually the 50mm framelines, but with the reduced magnification these will be correct for the 35mm.

Brian,

Thanks for the clarification. I suspected this,and your reply confirmed it for me.

The lens just arrived. Feels good and focus good on RF as compared with on my other M bodies. Will run a testing roll through it.
