michael_fan1 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 <p>Hi,</p> <p>Can anyone tell me some informations about the early <strong>R lenses</strong> with red scale? When did they stop using the red scale/reasons? Are these lense scare? I think this is an important information for collectors but cant find the info. in any ref. books. Thanks very much!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_sender Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 <p>My best guess is that they stopped using the red scale with the introduction of the Leicaflex SL about 1967, if not a little earlier. I suspect that red scale lenses were originally 1-cam. I have one such lens that had a second cam added for use on the SL. It is otherwise identical to the later lens. Hope this has been of some help.<br> Stuart</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
