I would appreciate some advice.
I am seriously contemplating buying an M9(P).
I have shot some with an M3 and now with my M2. The 2 lenses I have is a Summicron 50mm Rigid f2 as well as a Summaron 35mm f2.8 (both in excellent condition).
Now, I understand that these lenses don't match up with the latest and greatest and I am fine with that.
My question is 2 fold:
1 - These lenses are not coded. Can I manually address this with the M9 (they don't seem to be in the manual lens setting menu).
2 - More importantly: I seem to read that focusing may be off somewhat with these lenses. Advice I read is along the lines of "get a feel for how much it is off - especially nearby with the 50 - and live with it".
My need:
- absent of coding, I need to be able to manually set the camera for these lenses and have them perform well.
- I need focusing to be spot on.
Your comments, experience?
Thanks.
