Subject: [Leica] Lenses on bodies via adapter

A comment on the discussion yesterday. I am largely with George on this: 
most lenses work best with the bodies they were designed for. Mixing is 
possible but works well only in special circumstances. For example, 
yesterday I took this picture with a GF2 and Leica 75mm Summarit-M:

This worked because the main subject was at inifinity, so there was no need 
for critical focusing. I also took another picture, of a backlit tree on the 
golf course, where focus was at 10-15 meters. In that case, I used the 10x 
magnification to help focus, and it did work as well--but of course the tree 
did not move!

Any kind of moving subject, forget it.

Cheers,
Nathan
