Leica 28-35-50 Tri-Elmar on RD1s

Can anyone confirm this will work? can anyone recommend this lens?

TIA

I don't have this lens, but I can't see why it wouldn't work. You just need the proper finder/s.

Why would you need finders? I thought the RD1 support 28-35-50 framelines? Or am I misunderstanding how the frame lines work?

The Tri-Elmar works fine on the R-D1 and the R-D1 framelines match perfectly. I have one and have used it extensively. There are plenty of Tri-Elmar/R-D1 shots in my gallery. As it happens I am selling mine - as I noted in an earlier post today - because I am simplifying my life and will be shooting with a 35mm on the R-D1 for 90% of the time.

No you are right its just that the field of view is equal to 42 53 75 crop factor.

Hi Gid, any idea what you might be asking for the Tri-Elmar? I've been thinking of getting one. - Thanks.

R-D1 works beautifully with the Tri-Elmar. Its a wonderful street lens with the framelines matching up just fine....
