It seems to be well built, as well as the finder (impressive in size) The finder is not really clear/bright) but seems to be usable. I tried to mount a few lenses and the RF is coupled correclty although I have not checked yet the accuracy. I looked in the LUG archive and noticed that the user report/experience are going from not usable to good... I will let you know my opinion after a few tests. I wonder what will be the quality of the 180/5.6 (90/2.8+2X) and the Noctilux + 2X. To have a 100/2 seems attracive... But I do not believe too much in the focussing accuracy (perfect coupling accuracy) of the conerter... on the other hand the Noctilux vignetting would be removed by enlarging only the center of the image...the noctilux bokeh kept... I plan to use it when travelling to have a longer lens than my 90, for a few shoots, too avoid to carry my heavy C**** SLR system too. Any comments for long time users? cheers, logan _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
