Lenses for 6008 AF

[merrill]

I have a couple of lenses which I last used some time ago on an SL66E - a Planar 80mm f2.8 and a Sonnar Synchro-Compur 150mm f4. Will these work on a 6008AF?

Hi Merrill:

No, they won't, because they have no focussing helicoid. The Synchro Compur 150 may work via a bellows extension (Novoflex UNIVERSAL BELLOWS), which you could use for focussing, but then probably only for close-ups because you would be beyond the infinity extension requirements. Probably not worth the trouble.

Thanks for your help. I suppose I was hoping that some kind of focus assist might be possible.
