The lens mount can be changed to R. The aperture works in funny way, you have to move up and down, shift range is big, weight is big, mechanical tolerances are big, lens is very loose. Images? Do not ask, any one time camera is better here. You can see objects shape, no sharpness at all. My lens might be just bad example. I do not have any other PC lens.

Q: about Leica R Summicron 35/2.0 vs PC Super Angulon 35/4 shift hi folks I'm new here...! Acquired my Leica R kit not so long ago from another listmember, who reminded me this list existed. I'm contemplating purchasing either the Summicron-R 35/2.0 , PC Super Angulon 35/4 or even the Ukranian built Arsat 35/2.8 tilt-shift lens. If I had to choose one of three, which would be the most useful lens to have? Specifically, does the 35/4 support automatic diaphram and exposure modes? How useful is the 7mm shift ? I hear it's quite limited. Would the Arsat 35/2.8 tilt-shift be more useful as it has more shift , and tilt to boot? How does it compare optically ? (ok pls, I know Leica lenses are better... but some objective observations pls). Optically, how do both the 35/2 and 35/4 compare at f4.0 (I ask because I typically use 35mm lenses mostly between f4 and f5.6) ? Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
