Will the D800e VF brightness and contrast allow you to MF with s high degree
of success?

I am thinking of buying the Nikon D800E.  It is a 36mp sensor, and if I have
done my arithmetic right that is a 30" wide print at 300 ppi.  I am aware
there is a possible hardware issue with auto focus, but I was thinking of
buying a few Leica R lenses for manual focus.  So I was thinking I could get
higher ISO's, longer lenses and some cropping room 
if needed for a reasonable price, at least compared to an S2.   I tend 
to shoot landscapes and static objects so auto focus is not that big of a
priority.  Any thoughts?
