I have a 3 cammed 35 summicron that did not fit and a 3 cammed 50 summicron that did. And if I remember correctly the 24 mm lens would not fit either. I had a technician who said if I could find another meter cover plate he would notch it and then all of the lenses would fit the SL, but I decided against it and not long after that I traded the SL toward a mint R6.
