I would think that your high praise for the SL VF would say not that good, but what about compared to the R8? A Nikon D700? Or ???? Frank, The SL rules. The D700 VF doesn't cover the whole sensor - you have to crop to get the original view ... My R8 was way better in that respect - it only missed a FF sensor. Pana G series - ridiculous manipulations when using heavy lenses PLUS crop factor at 2 => no wide angle Yet the EVF is great in some circumstances - magnification is really easy and efficient. Yet, I handled my D700 with a novoflex 600mm yesterday, and find the disproportion and unbalance quite difficult to accept. I'd never fit the G1 to the lens :-) :-) Now from this to spoiling an A900 ... and getting no auto aperture in the end ... Better leitax or any other chinese made adaptor ($20 with shipping max, except for a few lenses where it doesn't work) Or buy from the body manufacturer while waiting? Bien cordialement de Mutz Philippe I assume the comparison is for focusing ease... for lack of different "specs". ( I would love a comparison to a D1x, but would take something more current....) Frank Filippone Red735i at earthlink.net Using R lenses on any camera other than Leica R means losing the auto-aperture but the A900's color quality, excellent viewfinder and full-frame sensor with lots and lots of pixels are very appealing, and converting the camera's mount instead of the lens means I can still use the lenses on SL bodies. And no mirror clearance problems. Doug Herr _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
