[Leica] Nathan's PAD 5/8/2022: testing my new Fotodiox adapter

[Douglas Barry]

They're very good results, Nathan. I like the one of Monica best. Funny, 
I have a OM Fotodiox adaptor for my Zuiko lenses but it's for my Sony 
and the results are not that great. The lenses worked very well on my 
OMs in the distant past.

I very much like the results I see on film, but I also wanted to try those lenses on my Fuji X cameras. So I just got a Fotodiox adapter to do just that. I was especially interested in trying the f2/85mm on the Fuji, and I was not disappointed. My percentage of accurate focus was 100%, and I am really pleased with these results. Here are 3 samples, to which no further sharpening or other unnatural acts have been applied.
