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. Following
the prototype stage, TAAB made samples available for beta testers. A Kickstarter campaign allowed them 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 focus
tabs are 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.

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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
