- The Summicron R 50mm from 1978 does not cover the entire sensor, I used it to prove the benefit of the Multi-use 51 mm in close-up photography. I took one picture max shift left, one in the middle and one max shift right, stitched later in PTGui. With the Leitz extension tube the image circle is drastically reduced, while with Multi-use 51 mm the image circle does not suffer any loss. Wonderful for huge close- up files, even better with a XY shift camera.
