Subject: [Leica] M8 + Summicron 50mm F/2?

Well, my M8 arrived today! When I opened the manual (first time ever, I have 
to admit) one of the first things I read was that you can?t use the 
Summicron 50mm F/2 lens ?with close focusing.? Err, this is news to me. 
Online, it seems to be fine. Is this lens okay to use? What do they mean by 
close focusing?

Also, since I got my camera used, it apparently doesn?t come with any 
software. Is this Capture One something that I need? Does anyone have a 
spare disc? I have Photoshop, but am not sure if the Leica software did 
anything special. 

The main killer is? the battery needs to be charged first. Alas, my torture 
is prolonged?

Thanks,

Ryan
