The new M's look like they are too thick for my taste and also need extra grips. But another deal is that I can not only use my M and LTM lenses on the Fuji, I could buy an Olympus adapter to use all my Zuikos (including the 250mm f/2) and with the Samigon Nikon F to LTM adapter I already own, I can mount Nikon lenses like my 55mm Micro-Nikkor. absolutely, I have used most of my Leica M and R lenses, also great old Pentax, Zeiss, Olympus, Nikon, Canon lenses that were begging to be used. s > > Alan > > Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer > University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services > (Retired) > UPAA POY 1978 > amr3 at uwm.edu > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/ > > "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate > for an inability to notice.
