Hans and Sander, Konica is obstinate in claiming that the KM mount is their "original" probably for legal reasons. They never guarantee proper function of Leica lenses on the Hexar RF and vice versa. However, as far as I have heard from those who alreadly used Hexar RF in Japan, they have no problems in fucusing Leica lenses (e.g., Summicron 50mm at f2) on the Hexar. Cheers, Mikiro Strasbourg
