Subject: [Leica] Lenses without digital Bodies, Anyone?

WOW!   That is VERY "KEWL!!!"  as my 10 year old says.

That said I am still dubious about metering in the digital cameras ... At
least the D100 and D1x.

I have had these cameras set up, on manual, taken a incident reading
(Minolta IV), set the camera and the picture is 1 to 2 stops over exposed.
Same with studio flash.
Meter says f8 and the camera wants f11.

ISO 200 does not seem to be the same for digital as film

Any one else have this experience?
