If you have a lot of light, you can stop down all the way and still see what you're doing. I was shooting in very low light, so I had to open up a bit to focus and then stop back down.
Yes, the shots I posted of the guitars and flowers were taken with a Leica Summicron 50/2. The adapters are available from a few places. You can find more info in this forum. I believe the 75 Lux should work, as long as the back end doesn't extend beyond the adapter by too much. Again, see the threads in this forum. One last thing, the 75 will effectively be a 150 on the G1.
Certainly is and I don't have one which is worse
Thanks. That's one of the things I want to find out myself. The different crop factors will complicate things a bit, but I am curious to see how the G1 sensor compares to the M8 sensor. As soon as I can do some comparison shots, I'll post my findings here. And I'm sure I won't be the only one doing that, so things should be getting interesting.
Guy, since you were at least partly responsible for my getting involved with Leica and the M8, I think I'm entitled to a little payback.
In that case Guy, the next time I buy something, I'm going to tell my wife that it's your fault! So if you ever make it to Tokyo, better be prepared to dodge some Japanese rocks. :grin:
