FOCUS TABS FOR ALL LEICA LENSES



Several of the Leica M lenses do have a built-in focus tab which makes focusing a lot easier. The reason is that many of these lenses are rather compact, and a conventional focus ring would be hard to handle.  However, not all of the Leica M lenses are equipped with a focus tab.  For those of the Leica owners that would like to see focus tabs on all lenses, there finally is a solution.  It is one of those things that make you wonder why you haven’t thought of this before.  Enter TAAB.


TAAB is a new company that has come up with a solution.  So new as a matter of fact that TAAB is currently in the prototype stage.  Working prototypes are available for beta testers. They plan on launching a Kickstarter campaign to ramp up full production in late spring 2015.


Unlike other lens tab solutions, TAAB stretches to conform to your lens.  No more screws, glue or zip ties.  TAAB stays on but slips off with ease.  Adding a tab to your lens has never been easier.  TAAB are made of very durable Neoprene.  The material will stretch for a secure fit on the lens.  It will hold the stretch and won’t deteriorate.  TAAB will be available in three sizes, Mini for rangefinder and other small lenses, Standard for midsized rangefinder or other small lenses, and Hefty for most SLR lenses.


TAAB will be available for purchase in late Spring 2015.

  1. This is a great idea. I wonder when they might be available. Late spring seems to be a bit optimistic.

  2. Will there be additional sizes available? I am using some of the older Leica screw mount lenses. Not all of them have ficus tabs and some appear to be too small for even the smallest tab offered so far.

    1. I do not know if additional sizes will be available in the future. The three sizes so far should cover most lenses where it makes since to use a focus tab.
