This is the Leitz Macro Elmarit 60mm R-cam version,
As you can see here, there is only the R-cam , the black one with stepped shape.
This lens black shroud is different from the ones we have done before, so we cannot remove the mount like the other versions.
We have to remove shroud and mount together.
First, rotate the aperture ring until it coincides with this cut on the shroud.
Now, remove the six screws of the Leica-R mount.
And rotate the focus ring putting the lens group away from the mount.
Now, using two plastic tools, force the mount away from the lens barrel, don't be afraid of breaking anything....
.... because the black shroud internal side is very flexible, as you can see in the picture.
Ok, now we can see where the small ball is. It is important in the previous step not to introduce the plastic tools near where the ball is.
So the lens is ready to use the Leitax mount.
Just put it on top of the lens barrel and screw it.
The Macro-Elmarit is ready to be used on our modern cameras.
