Summicron DR on an RD1s?

[jeffmatsler]

Hello,

I have purchased an RD1s from KEH and will have it tomorrow afternoon if all goes well.

Are there lens limitations with the RD1s? For instance, I can’t use my DR Summicron on the CLE due to internal, metering stuff and I’m wondering if I have to limit my shooting to certain lenses on the Epson.

If there’s a link that shows this data – and other RD1s info I might need, please point me that direction as well. Thanks and let me know.

I don't believe there are any limitations other than the fact that the goggles won't fit at all, so you'll need to either use it in the normal focusing range with the rangefinder coupled or use a tape measure in the close focusing range. Any lens with goggles is going to present this issue.

For other information see LINK - discussing collapsible lenses, lenses that interfere with metering, etc.

I used the DR summicron on my RD1, it was a great combination and produced really nice images
