What's the problem? What problems would you anticipate using an older lens with a sensor instead of film the outer edges? I think people have been shooting with all kinds of glass from past decades on the nikon full frames for over two years now there are no mysterious exciting issues about the edges or anything else would the Leicas be different? With older glass you get an older look. Just like you would with older glass on film. Obviously the exceptions would be non retrofocal wides. And threes bound to be one or two lenes which protrude too far back or something like that but other than the obvious that what? Mark William Rabiner
