Subject: [Leica] "R" lenses on digital bodies

I converted 28/2.8, 50/2, 90/2.8 R lenses to F mount two years ago. All
three were later model 3 cams. 

I use R lenses 90% of the time on my D700; in particular the 28 and 50.
The D700 is as it was out of the box. 

I use Nikkors (usually the 17-35/2.8) on occasion when I need zoom,
complex lighting/flash, AF or long teles.  I have plenty of Nikkors but
prefer using the R lenses for many reasons. These days the 28 and 50
meet most of my needs. 

Lately I've been using a GF-1. The image quality isn't in the same
ballpark as the D700 (even if I use M lenses on the GF-1). But it's
convenient to carry.

BTW, I never use Photoshop anymore. All I use is Lightroom 3.

All,

I was thinking that maybe we should begin a poll to find how others are
using their "R" lenses on various digital bodies:

1. Which camera body?
2. Which focusing screen?
3. Modifications necessary if any?
4. Miscellaneous and pertinent info?
