To avoid damaging your LEICA R7, do not
attempt to use it with lenses and accessories for
LEICAFLEX' models without a control cam. To
use your LEICAFLEX lenses with the LEICA R
exposure meter system, they must be fitted with
a control cam. You can continue to use such
modified lenses and accessories without
restriction on all LEICAFLEX models.
LEICA M Lenses on the LEICA R7
You can use the LEICA R7 with any lens of the
LEICA M range which is suitable for the
VISOFLEX R adapter. The operating conditions,
such as focusing distance and object field
obtainable, are the same as those that apply to the
use of these LEICA M Lenses with the
VISOFLEX. A special adapter (order No. 14167)
ensures compatibility of these two LEICA 35mm
camera systems, but because these lenses have
no automatic diaphragm, the exposure meter has
to use the working aperture.
Hints on care
Carefully remove dust and fluff on the mirror by
means of a soft, dry sable brush from which you
repeatedly remove any grease with ether before
and during cleaning. For cleaning, the brush
must be perfectly dry. Avoid mechanical damage
to the focusing screen: do not allow the metal
ferrule of the brush to touch the screen. To avoid
forcing dust into the camera's interior, do not
blow into the mirror chamber.
When pointed at the sun, a camera lens acts as a
burning glass. To protect your camera, always
use a lens cap, keep the camera in its bag, and
place it in the shade.
In addition to its designation by type and model,
each lens has a serial number. Make a note of the
serial numbers of all your lenses and of your
camera (on the camera baseplate) e.g. in your
"Leica pass"; this information may be important
in case of loss.
