Guys, I may consider buying Rollei RF 35 at a good price. Can you advse on compatibility of Leica M lenses on Rollei RF camera?
1) Will I have any focusing issues with this combo?
2) What framelines will I see , if to be mounted on Rollei 35 RF camera? For example, if I mount Summilux 35/1.4 pre-asph?
3) Can I fix x 1.25 leica magnifier to Rollei 35 RF camera??

Alex

This camera (a rebadged Bessa-R2) has a narrow base rangefinder but should be fine for most lenses. Longer lenses might present a challenge, but no more than any other Cosina Voigtlander.

The camera has three manually selected framelines: 40, 50 and 80. The framelines are selected by a switch on the camera's top deck, just to the left of the hotshoe.
3) Can I fix x 1.25 leica magnifier to Rollei 35 RF camera?
Would this be for the eyepiece? I don't know if it would be usable, because the Rollei/Cosina eyepiece is probably different from the Leica eyepiece. If this is something else, then I have no answer.
