CV 21mm on a Zorki 4?

[jtzordon]

Just thinking about superwides. Anyone have experience with this combo? Specifically, does the RF couple?

Dunno about the Zorki 4, but I use my CV 21 on my Zorki 3m with no problems.

Yes and yes.

Wonderful! Thanks. Is this generally the case with CV lenses? Exceptions?

Well, all I can say from first-hand experience is that the CV 21/4, 28/3.5 and 35/2.5C all rangefinder-couple on the Zorki-4. Also, I'm pretty confident the CV 25/4 won't couple, but you can't blame it on the Zorki... As to the actual super-wides, the CV 12/5.6 and 15/4.5, it wouldn't be a big deal if they didn't couple either - scale focusing is more than adequate with such short focal lengths.

The CV 21/4, 35/2.5 and 28/1.9 all work with my FSU LTM bodies.

 

[jtzordon]

Yeah, the 25 was the only one I wasn't curious about.

 

[jtzordon]

Well, I wasn't worried about the 12 or 15 either.

Does anyone know if the 21 Skopar will couple with a Leica M6? Thx
