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.
