I wonder how that will work on a rangefinder type camera. On a DSLR, when you press the release, the focus is locked, the shutter closes, turning off the live view, then the shutter opens to take the exposure. Talk about shutter lag. I imagine it will be similar on a rangefinder camera only w/o the focus delay. And of course, I will have to hold the camera at arms length and wear my glasses.

Mechanically adapters ought to be possible for all old SLR mounts. Do we dare to hope for - GASP - Contarex and Alpa adapters? And let's not forget Petriflex and Ricohflex :-). Coding to display EXIF info for these old lenses might be a problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: <wildlightphoto at earthlink.net> To: <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Monday, September 17, 2012 5:38 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] So most rumours came true? > A.
