Hexae RF and Leica SA 21/3.4

[DennisPT]

After some researches, I am still unsure about whether the 21/3.4 Super Angulon can be used on Hexar RF. Can somebody give me some idea. Thx.
Cheers

After chatting via PM with Gary I too would love to know the answer to this.

Here's someone who uses one on the RF on Flickr. You might send him a message and ask about his experience.

I don't have a Hexar RF anymore, otherwise I would check, but if I remember correctly, the SA mounted fine, but the deep rear lens element prevented accurate metering.

So you would need to meter with a separate handheld meter, or guess exposure to some extent.

Good luck, and 'hope you get a more definitive answer from someone who currently owns both of those fine pieces of gear!

thanks Kent, I followed the link, didnt see a direct link to his PM, so just posted a comment, and asked him to respond.

Someone PMed me that the lens works with all M cameras, but I dont know if they mean the Leica TTLs or not. I am concerned about the rear of the lens damaging the metering cell, not so much whether the metering is accurate or not.
