The existing Meyer Optik Görlitz lenses are now available also for Leica R-mount cameras (sold at B&H Photo):
Biebertal – December 12, 2024 – Meyer Optik Görlitz releases all previous lenses (except Biotar 75 II) with native R-mount. The new versions can now be ordered.
“In the past, we have repeatedly received inquiries from people interested in Meyer Optik who requested R-versions of our lenses. This camera system, which is appreciated by many but has been discontinued since 2009, is still very popular and ensures a lively second-hand market,” says Marco Pfeiffer, Managing Director of Meyer Optik Görlitz. “The range of lenses available for these cameras is very limited and unfortunately it is often not possible to adapt other popular lenses (e.g. M42 or C-EF) to R cameras due to the respective flange focal distances. Due to this fact, we have decided to offer our lenses with an native R-mount and hope to be able to give everyone who shoots with the R-system a pre-Christmas present.”
Wide range of mounts
Every lens from Meyer Optik Görlitz is available for at least 11, most even for 12, mounts. Only a few manufacturers take the extra effort involved in producing native versions for so many camera systems. Meyer Optik Görlitz takes this unconventional approach in order to make the use of the lenses as convenient as possible.
Meyer Optik Görlitz lenses can be purchased at https://www.meyer-optik-goerlitz.com/en/lenses/ and are available from well-stocked specialist photo retailers. Incoming orders will be processed one after the other. There could be delivery delays during the upcoming Christmas holidays.
What’s next?
Completely new lenses are currently being planned / developed and will be released during next year. It remains exciting at Meyer Optik Görlitz.
