[Leica] Going digital with M lenses (outside of M8/M9)?

[photo at frozenlight.eu (Nathan Wajsman)]

Hi Jan,

I find that using M lenses on my GF-1 works quite well. I use the adapter 
from Cameraquest. In fact, I just bought the 12mm non-rangefinder coupled CV 
lens, and it works brilliantly on the GF-1. And of course the fact that it 
is not rangefinder-coupled is of no consequence in this case.

Cheers,
Nathan
