Non Konica lenses on Hexar RF... Yes? No?

[Krosya]

I use 28, 50, 90 M-Hexanons, as well as CV Nokton 35/1.2 as well as several LTM lenses with Leica adapters - Canon 50/1.2, Summitar, J-9, Nikkor 105/2.5, etc on my Hexar RF. I also used ZM Planar 50, Rigid Summicron, current Summicron 50, Leica Fat TE 90 on it and never had any issues with patch/focus. Go figure.

RF rangefinder issues and other lens

Hi there

have Leica M's Hexar Rf and RD-! also approx 15 LM mount lens including F2.0 LM

never had any rangefinder issues with any of the lens body combinations

Remember that the Leica Mafia cannot contemplate any other camera or lens being in same league as the great God Leitz!!! so the always try and find some suprious argument to put you off buying a substitute for the original.

I of course think that Leica make some of the best RF equipment but the heaxar RF Epson and ZM and VM equipment is in the same league.

Ignore most of the items posted by the Leica mafia and have a go with the RF its a superb bit of kit and lens are very fine. Get a better lens hood for the 50 f2.0 as the pull out is too short but quality is of the best.

I've had 2 Hexar RFs, the 1st had major focus issues with any lens other than the supplied Hexanon 50mm as did the Hexanon lens on other M bodies, ie a matched set. My second body was brilliant with any lens i fitted to it. Andrew

No problems here.
I've used 40mm Rokkor, various VC lenses and the Zeiss Planar.

And I'm still yet to find a camera I like using better.
