Hey All!
Just snapped up a 50mm f/2 HC in leica thread mount and I have a possibly dumb question 🙂 BTW, this is my first foray into Nikkor optics and I love the feel of this lens!
Anyway, I mounted it to my M5 with a leitz LTM to M adapter. When I'm focusing down to around 3.5 feet, I have to give it a little push to keep going but then I lose RF coupling. Now, I know the min. distance on my M5 is .7 meters however I seem to be losing it earlier than that (just under 3.5 feet) The lens goes down to 1 foot but I imagine that has to be estimated. That's no problem, but I may return the lens if I can't go below 3 and a half feet!
Anyone have an idea what's going on here?
