I would like to understand more clearly what you're saying about Kodachrome in both of your MSGs. First to quote from your reports: >>I use K25 & K64 as these films still give the<< >>best sharpness ( read contrast ) for very fine<< >>image details........How to make sure we can<< >>exploit the awesome capabilities of modern<< >>Leica lenses; Kodachrome is part of the answer<< Do you believe that K25 & K64 outperform Fuji Velvia, Astia, & Provia only when used with Leica glass OR that K25 & K64 outperform these Fuji films....period! In addition, whatever your answer is to the above; please fill in the other parts from; "Kodachrome is part of the answer". That's if you've got the time! In any case, after a statement like, "The SAA is one of the very few to offer stunning quality at f2.0" ; is there any chance Leica will have a R version soon? ;-)! It's also clear from your reports that the R8 & the new 50 f1.4 form an optimal "available darkness" combo. Thanks again for taking the time to post the results! Tom D. Tom D.
