Use Of Leica M Lenses On The Leicar 6 4; Hints On The Care Of Your Leica R6; And Its Lenses - Leica R6 Instructions Manual

Use of LEICA M lenses on the LEICA R6
You can use the LEICA R6 with any lens
of the LEICA M range suitable for the
VISOFLEXTM adapter. The operating con-
ditions, such as focusing distance and object
field obtainable, are the same as apply to the
use of these LEICA M lenses with the
VISOFLEX. A special adapter (code 14167)
ensures
'the
compatibility of these two
LEICA 35 mm camera systems. Because
these lenses have no automatic diaphragm,
the exposure meter has to use the'working
aperture (see page 20).
Hints on the care of your LEIQA R6
and its lenses
Carefully remove dust and fluff on the
mirror by means of a soft, dry sable brush
from which you repeatedly remove any
grease with ether before and during cleaning.
Avoid mechanical damage to the focusing
screen: do not allow the metal mount ofthe
brush to touch the screen.
To avoid forcing dust into the camera's
jnterior,
do not blow into the mirror

Whenb6inted atthe sun, a camera lens acts
as a burning glass. To protect your camera,
always use a lens cap, keep the camera in its
bag, and place it in the shade.
In addition to its designation by type and
model, each lens has a serial number. Make
a note of the serial numbers of all your
lenses and ofyour camera (on camera base-
plate); this may be important in case ofloss.
