[Leica] IMG: X-E1 with Adapters

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram Langhans)]

Hi Jim.  So there has been some talk about using R glass on the new Leica M 
and since you are in live view, the shutter lag problem.  I don't know much 
about the Fuji cameras, so how does this relate to R glass or M glass on the 
X-E1?

And how does the focusing work?  I know it is manual, but how easy is it to 
really pin point where you want to focus, especially for someone with again 
eyes?

My Fotodiox adapters arrived this afternoon, so I had to try them out.
The Leica-R to Fuji X adapter fit perfectly, with no noticeable play in
the mount.  The normally-cooperative Tiger Swallowtail kept me on the
run, and manual focusing makes the hunt more challenging.  While his
head is hidden in this shot, the back wing, where I apparently focused,
gives an idea of what can be achieved.

The Leica-M to Fuji X adapter fit extremely tight.  Function is fine,
but I will have a challenge when I have to separate my LTM/M adapter
from the Fuji adapter.

Comments and critiques welcomed.
