Hi!
I recently acquired a Summaron 35mm/3.5. I tried it on my Bessa R.
When I want to change the aperture, the focus ring also moves. I had to hold the focus ring still to change the aperture. The aperture ring is quite smooth to turn already on its own. Good thing though, when I move the focus, the aperture does not move.
Is this "normal" behaviour? Should the aperture ring move independently of the focus ring? Earlier on, I was using a Jupiter 8 and Industar 61 and the aperture rings do move affect the focus.
Or is there a technique in setting the aperture and focus? One way is to preset, I suppose.
Any tips appreciated. Thanks!
