Hi Dan,
Is this a third cam only lens?
M.

 

[DanielStone]

yes, its a 3 cam to the best of my knowledge. I didn't shoot with the R series very long, buy according to the Leitax site, the mount looks the exact same to the 3-cam mount they have pictured on their site.

thanks

The question from M. Pandolfo is not whether it's a 3 cam lens, it's whether it's a third cam only lens.

See http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/index-frameset.html?Lens-R.html~mainFrame which describes the third cam only lenses as R-only lenses, as they will not mount or work on the Leicaflex Standard or SL bodies.

The lens you have for sale is third cam only. Will mount on all R series Leica SLRs. Will not mount or work on Leicaflex Standard, SL, or SL2 bodies.

Photos added for comparison. Cams 1 and 2 are bright metal ramps. Cam 3 is black metal, stepped.

Thanks Dan.
Lee, you got the question (and the answer) right.
This is a third cam lens, also known as "R-only", but doesn't say so in white letters as others I have seen.
As Lee says, will not mount on any Leicaflex model but will be fully functional on Leicas R3,4,5,6,6.2 and 7.
As far as I know, will mount on Leica R8 and 9 and work at least in some operational modes (because it has no ROM).
