Elmar C 90 mm on Bessas?

[luiman]

As the title shows, I'm interesting to know if it's possible to mount an Elmar C 90 mm (for Leica CL) on my Bessas (R2a and R).
Just a newbie question...🙂

Thanks in advance,
Luigi

The Elmar C is M mount, so it works with your Bessa R2a but not with the Bessa R (which is LTM).

Thank you Antti. Yes, I have asked because I had read that the focus mechanism on the Leica C is different from that of the Leica M and I wanted to know whether this difference might give some compatibility problem (slight inaccuracy of focus)...
About Bessa R, it's my lapsus, it is LTM...

OK, I see. I've read something like that too, but I have never heard about problems in real life. Maybe someone else knows more about this.

I really like your photos, BTW! 🙂

Yes, the important thing is the real life (and take photos)...
Thanks, I'm honored. 🙂

I had a R2A and the 90 C and they worked fine together.

Thank you Marty. It focuses well at the minimum distance / f.4?
