The question that has not been asked.....

What happens when you put the lens on the SL and take a picture?

Are there any problems?
Look at the image taken.... what do you see on the computer (not LCD)?

( and no, the lens nor camera will not blow up if you try this.....)

Yes, somebody answered me on the SL Facebook page.  It has to be updated on
a T camera.  I don't have a T camera and I don't know anybody with one.
There are no Leica dealers in SC that I can find!

I wish I had known this before I bought the lens.  I thought they were
supposed to be totally compatible!
