This is very exciting since I plan to pick up a Evolt300 for dirt cheap. Any official opinions or experiences with this? I suspect that since the Evolt300 has a multiplication factor of 2x that all of my Leica R-lenses will be twice multiplied in focal length. This is exciting since I can get a smaller R-digital without using the R modular digital back which looks very heavy. In fact, that back has a smaller multiplication factor too. I like Stephen Gandy's allusion to lens adapters of all sorts. The fact that you can jam a Leica lens onto a Canon or Olympus digital body is way more economical and practical than the rather pricey solution that Leica seems to offer. Just too bad that we don't have any digital M rangefinders which are inexpensive (brr.... epson...) Alfie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
