Jorge,
Thanks for the feedback.
Stephen Gandy (via Camera Quest home page) indicates that it is possible =
to
remove the protective ring and successfully use the lens. Have you
considered doing this ?
Regards,
Vince Lamberti

Hello Vince,
=
You're absolutely correct in your assumption. I've been using a late=
=
model 35 Summicron on my CLE and can only focus up to about 25 feet =
before the protective ring you refer to butts up against the wall =
surrounding the meter lens on the internal lower bout.
Not really too much of a problem if you leave your lens at the optim=
al
hyperfocal distance and let your aperture cover the infinity mark. I=
=
usually shoot a little more conservatively and fall well within =
reasonable focus. Whatever you do, don't force the focus beyond 25 =
feet!

Jorge
