Just might be tempted to do that. I've been mulling an 85mm for podium
work. But I'm just as interested in different optical signatures for
it. I have the last generation Elmarit-R which I've used with 'the'
adapter for digital shooting.
I've finally got a site up. Still needs work, and Leica shooting on it.
