Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net to get / test focus open and see if it is possible/feasible compared to my M9. It is certainly possible and much easier and more reliable than the M9, where the hit rate was low and process very hard and quirky. I will tell you what I do, much easier to do than to summarize. Nex7 and Novoflex adapter, the M 75 lens at 1.4. Shooting RAW and JPEG fine bw, focus peaking high/red color...This allows you to see the bw and when in focus the red color, this is very sensitive and easy to do. This leads to a hit hit rate, can be done without tripod , certainly is reliable, much less sketchy than on the M9. I use aperture priority of course, and ISO auto so shooting in the almost dark at high ISO is very feasible with this setup. Also works with the Noctilux at f1, but the Summilux 75mm at 1.4 is even more demanding.... Happy to discuss off list... steve
