DR Summicron on R3M?

Hi,

I have problem with 50 DR Cron mounted on my R3M - I cannot focus on infinity, the focus ring stop few milimeters before it and then there is resistance. On the other hand, no problem with the lens on M2. Any suggestions?

Thanx

The 50 DR is not compatible with the Bessa M cameras.

The close-focus cam is hitting the shutter/light meter mechanism. It won't focus to infinity on any Bessa to my knowledge. I believe you can have the close focus cam machined down if you don't intend to use that functionality.

Ah, thanx, then I guess it will have to stay on the M2.
