Full size would be better, for sure, but I am just thrilled at being able to use my M and LTM lenses on a digital body. Actually, much as I love the M lenses, I am willing to give up on them; the real thrill is to be able to use a compact, decent quality, rangefinder digital camera with interchangeable lenses. Up until now, digital means small, poor ergonomics P&S, or very large DSLRs. I like my cameras compact and light (To me Leica M's are compoact, but not quite light) - - Phong grduprey@rockwellcollins.com wrote: > > What I find amazing is the 1.53x lens factor.
