Hi Jim,
No I haven't heard of anyone doing it, least of all myself. :-)

As I said to Tina, touch base with Leica USA and see what they've 
encountered or send them her M8 and Noctilux and let them figure it out. It 
sure would be far more practical than it's obviously becoming on the 
screen.;-)

I figure it's the weekend, the weather is the pits, so everyone is hanging 
around inside banging the key board for something to do. :-) It's quite 
amazing how focus and flames can generate so many posts by so many folks! 
:-)

And not accomplish anything more than more confusion and hypothetical book 
learning stuff! ;-)
