[Leica] R lenses mod / w Leitax mount question

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

Thanks Howard.  It is getting harder for me to focus my WA lenses on the R8, 
and I will be looking for an alternative, and the Nikon DSLRs are my 
preferred platform after my DMR.  I will be looking at the D700 as I want a 
full frame body if I am to switch.  4/3 is not an option for me, and the S2 
is way too expensive.

This is for all those using their R lenses with the Leitax mounts on  
Nikon DSLRs.  Does the Nikon DSLR provide a focus confirmation light  
when using R lenses with the Leitax mounts?

Thanks,
Gene

Hi Gene,

Yes you do get focus confirmation at f5.6 and wider on D200, D300, and  
D700 bodies (that I have used and so know for sure) but the arrow(s)  
to correct focus point in the opposite direction to what you need to  
turn the focus barrel in order to achieve focus. This takes a bit of  
getting used to.

Cheers
Howard
