Like Gary, I too have been taking pictures using an inexpensive Olympus 
E-500 body but with Leica glass.  The ability of these magnificent 
lenses to capture the subtlest nuances and details is absolutely 
staggering compared to the well-engineered but cheap lenses that come in 
a kit.  I think 90% of pictures I've been taking have been with a Leica 
lens since I got the adapter from Kindai.

With the marginal viewfinder, even with the 1.25x magnifier, I bracket 
focus, but it seems like my eyes are just as reliable as the AF in the 
camera.
