[Leica] If You Were Buying an M8 Today...

Thanks Frank. This is good info. I think it would mostly end up as a  
macro kit using the 60 macro off the SL. Maybe the 28 would work well as 
a 56mm  "normal" focal length.

I don't understand the "standard type digital sensor..."  oh maybe it's 
that the sensor expects light rays to  mostly be perpendicular to it  
and many of the M lenses are not. My M-90/2.8 would become a handy 180mm 
equivalent. I'm guessing it might work well with the G1.

Thanks again!
