I was going to bring the 100mm on this trip but the adaptor did not get
here on time. I think it will work very well with the EVF, as my
experience so far using the wides has been largely positive. Takes a bit
of time to get used to, but the thing can see in the dark, even with the
lens stopped down. Focus is best wide open, but so are most Leica lenses,
so I don't see this as an issue. Shutter lag is there, but so far I've not
been too 'hung' up on that issue. All in all, I think the addition of a
'visoflex' built into the new M body is a positive one.

Cheers

Alastair
