So in reality, the Fuji is being used as a through the lens / focusing
screen device + Leica glass....

What I said about my waiting for Leica to produce an EVIL camera....  only
this time, Fuji + adapter  did it first.... 

I think this is a really good idea, and one that will catch on quickly among
users that are satisfied with the resultant image quality.

To afford the Fuji is a $1K problem.  To afford a M (240) is a $7K problem
plus the focusing issues (for Leica lenses).

Bob, I will be very interested in the results....

I'm looking forward to seeing if my keeper rate improves with my noctilux
and 50/1.4asph and 70/f2 ASPH. An interesting experiment that won't cause
the collapse of the Adler-eau.
