[Leica] Untitled

[john at mcmaster.co.nz (John McMaster)]

Have you tried it Mark? I have two Leitaxed lenses which work (for me), 80mm 
Summilux as always shot wide open and 100mm APO-Macro as shot on tripod 
(static subject). If I was looking to shoot moving targets at f8 or f11 it 
would be a different matter as the lenses do not have auto-aperture on non-R 
bodies... Also the non-linear exposure reading as you stop down, but I have 
not experienced that.

We have seen plenty of images from and read many posts from people who are
totally into the Leica on Nikon body groove. They are totally comfortable
with it. The workarounds apparently get to be second nature and the images
speak for themselves.
The loudest complainers are not the people who have tried it.
