I am still not convinced that the focus peaking is accurate enough for the longer lenses at +50m, both of mine focus beyond infinity so always need focussed. Also means a tri/monopod is required most of the time, not as straightforward to use as Leica tout it as.... john ________________________________________ Some of this seems to be tail wagging the dog to me ;-) The new camera is quite a significant investment and the adapters are much less so. If you already own an adapter that may work or can be modified to work then you can give it a go first I guess. If I had $8000 or so of M and another significant investment in some great R lenses, I'd think that the Leica item that definitely would work would be the best small extra investment. Rumours and guesses notwithstanding.
