It seems to me that if one already had a good Nikkor or Canon 24 this might be a viable approach. Is anyone doing this? If so, how has it worked out - is the lack of both click-stops and RF coupling a problem? How about viewfinder blockage and framing problems? *********************************** Paul, I can't claim to have 'bolted' it on the M, but the Leica 24 lens that I picked up for the R8 produced wonderful images on Kodachrome, which slotted right on in there with the other Leica glass. Its not a huge lens by leica standards, but it would unbalance the "m" a bit ;-) cheers Alastair
