Hi,
I have a question:
I recently bought a used Zeiss ZM 21/2.8 lens. It brings up 28mm frames when mounted on M9. Now, I have a few "old" Zeiss ZM flanges from last time I had ZM lenses (and M8). One of those flanges ALSO brings up 28mm frames BUT has totally different position of holes (yes, on this flange one of the holes is right where one of the 6bits should be!)...
Back to flange that is on my 21mm lens: as I said, this flange brings up 28 frames and the design of it is bit different. It has a recessed surface, so the previous owner did mark it with sharpie for a 6bit read but a wrong (28mm) lens. I am currently using this lens on my M9s with no problems.
I would love to send the old flange to JLM for coding (before taking off the flange on the lens). I am puzzled on how it can be TWO DIFFERENT ZM FLANGES FOR THE SAME 28mm FRAME LINES?
Any input would be great!
Thanks.
