Lenses With Limited Compatibility; Incompatible Lenses - Leica M10-R Instruction Manual

LENSES WITH LIMITED COMPATIBILITY

EN
COMPATIBLE, BUT MAY POSE RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE
CAMERA AND/OR LENS
– Lenses with retractable tube must only be used with the tube
extended, i.e. never attempt to retract the tube while the lens is
attached to the camera. This does not apply for the current Mak-
ro-Elmar-M 90 f/4 model, as its tube will not retract into the
camera itself and can therefore be used without restriction.
– When using Heavy lenses attached to a tripod-mounted camera,
e.g. Noctilux 50 f/0.95 or Leica R lenses with an adapter: make
sure that the tilt of the tripod head cannot move inadvertently
when the camera is not held. A sudden tilt and impact could
result in damage to the lower edge of the camera bayonet. That
is why you should always use the tripod mount on relevantly
equipped lenses.

COMPATIBLE, BUT EXACT FOCUSING MAY BE LIMITED
Despite the high precision of the rangefinder on the camera, exact
focusing with 135 mm lenses with an open aperture cannot be
guaranteed due to the very low depth of field. We therefore
recommend stopping down by at least 2 steps. Live View mode, on
the other hand, plus the various setting aids provided, allow
unrestricted use of this lens.
USABLE, BUT EXPOSURE METERING IS POSSIBLE ONLY IN
LIVE VIEW MODE
– Super-Angulon-M 21 f/4
– Super-Angulon-M 21 f/3.4
– Elmarit-M 28 f/2.8 (Serial numbers below 2 314 921)

INCOMPATIBLE LENSES

– Hologon 15 f/8
– Summicron 50 f/2 with close-up function
– Elmar 90 f/4 with retractable tube (manufactured 1954-1968)
– Some examples of the Summilux-M 35 f/1.4 (non-aspherical,
manufactured 1961-1995, Made in Canada) cannot be attached
to the camera or cannot focus to infinity. Leica Customer Care
can modify these lenses for use with the camera.
