<p>No, Aaron. It works PERFECTLY well as I have the same setup. It would be better centered in the 3/8 hole, but it works in the 1/4 hole too.<br>

Why does your video flip the picture right to left?<br>

Or are you suffering from the same problem that my left handed daughter does? </p>

<p>I have adapted Op-Tech straps to ALL of my cameras--Nikons, Leica, Hasselblad and Rolleiflex TLRs.<br>

Very comfortable to carry, easy to detach when putting camera on tripod</p>

<p>Get with it folks. the Super Ikonta B only is set up to take 11 exposures,NOT 12.</p>

<p>You don't have to watch a red window. it is Automatic on the Super Ikonta B. The BX model of that <br>

camera does take 12 exposures.</p>

<p>The green window was made for the BeeBee Bantam 828 film adapter. 828 film was paper backed unperforated 35mm film, sold in 8 exposure rolls. My cousin Sam devised a number of adapters and adapter backs for contemporary cameras of the '40s and '50s. Burleigh- Brooks of NYC bought his<br>

design for the Rolleicord. It produced 28x40mm slides or negatives. I don't think it could work on the Automatic Rolleiflex.</p>

<p>I have been buying thru eBay ever since I started using my first computer. Nothing but good results. I have never sold thru eBay, only bought. When selling, I use the LUG (Leica Users Group) or the Photo Net for sale. Good results both entities.</p>

<p>These are both enormousley heavy lenses. Price aside, the Leitz lens is superior.</p>

<p>I previousley have tried them bot, but decided upon a Tele Elmarit 90mm f2.8 which i have used on long term foreign assignments. Personally I go for a minimum weight lens array.</p>

<p>Jim,</p>

<p>I have owned and used every Leica 90mm SM or M mount lens from the Thambar to the Apo Summicron. I have long decided on the Thin Tele-Elmarit. Since I seldom make larger than 10X prints, the Tele Elmarit with a long hood is pefect for my use. It is super light and compact compared to ANY other Leica 90mm lens.</p>

<p>I do not require a detachable lens head, as I use a Nikon SLR with bellows etc fr close-up work. I can select any super-sharp lens for ultra close-up shots of fine watch movements-- (See "The Watch" by Gene Stone}</p>

<p>You should contribute them to the British Imperial War Museum in London. Take a tax deduction for the amount<br>

estimated by the museum. Opening the Burma Road was an Anglo-American operation. but no American would <br>

give you two shillings for the lot.</p>

<p>Remi,</p>

<p>Quite frankly, I would use the folding "barn door" type of lens hood with the Summitar lens. Of course, you could use the barn door hood for the 39mm dia. Summicron, since you have the adapter already. The hood for the 2.8 Elmar is round and will contribute to the vignetting already present in your setup.</p>

<p>Bill,</p>

<p>The text that you generated was OK, but i could not find any links</p>

<p>Alex,<br>

The third "Mystery Setting" probably is equivalent to Bulb, whereby the shutter stays open as long as the lever or cable release is depressed.<br>

A search through my library confirms this.<br>

Jerry Lehrer</p>

<p>Emir,</p>

<p>OMG! Those pictures of the XK-SS Jaguar brought tears to my eyes. In late 1956, John Bentley and I each ordered an Xk-SS from the factory, using his connections. His in silver with black leather, and mine in silver with red leather. The factory had a fire in January 1957 and our cars were destroyed.<br>

We had the money transferred to AC where we bought 2 AC-Bristols which we raced in 1957.<br>

That Jag would have been impractical as a road car in the US, but I would have done it.</p>

<p>Jerry Lehrer</p>

<p>Matthew,</p>

<p>Let it be known that there is an outfit in England that can supply you with exactly what you need.<br>

It is at <www.srbfilm.co.uk></p>

<p>I use my Nikon5T and 6T with my 80-200 lens. They are higher quality than the H'blad Proxars</p>

<p>Jerry Lehrer</p>

<p>Leica Clothing? If you want to be really exclusive, you can clothe your Leica in Luigi's expensive<br>

leather eveready cases. There are cheap Chinese knock-offs of Luigi's cases. Frankly I prefer my Leicas unclothed.</p>

<p>Bill, I would never be without a leica 21mm, whether it was the old Angulon f4.0 or my current Elmarit f2.8.<br>

For the 8x10 or 11x14 prints, I have not even begun to exceed the limits of the Elmarit.</p>

<p>Francesco</p>

<p>Your lens looks just like mine, a 4th generation pre-Asph. One of the best lenses that Leica has made.<br>

BTW, the "lttle gap" that you mention is an index for the proper lens hood. It MUST be right on top when the lens is installed. Otherwise the rectangular lens hood would be askew.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The motor itself is partly in the hand grip, along with the battery.</p>

<p>Jerry</p>

<p>Bill,</p>

<p>Very simple. Assuming it is a Leitz large ball head; take it apart starting with the three slotted screws on the bottom. Clean everything inside. Re-assemble and Bobs your uncle.</p>

<p>Jerry</p>

<p>Julien,</p>

<p>My Leica M outfits and my Nikon F2AS have co-existed successfully since Pontius was a pilot.</p>

<p>I use them where and when their advantages are shown. Neither is favored over the other<br>

for "emotional" reasons.</p>

<p>Jerry</p>

<p>Steve,</p>

<p>No! The proper Summarit lens hoods do NOT screw in. The Clamp on or are bayonetted on, depending on the vintage of the lens.<br>

I would not part with mine.</p>
