No stuff like lock-tite or its equivalent. Really easy actually.One question I have is whether the screws in the lens mount have anything keeping them tight...are they using lock-tite or something like that?

Of course.... :ROTFL:And Canon
This sounds potentially dangerous to me. A slip could cause an injury.Stuart:

If you have a friend hold lens, you might even be able to do it with the bit mounted in a cordless drill and you twisting the chuck by hand - maybe. It just needs to bite in enough to get a grip on the head.

I was at the dealer to collect my Fujinon L 5cm f/2.8 (sent for CLA) and took the shot with the 100mm APO. I think it was a vintage microscope. I can check again when I'm in again.Hacker -- What is that you have there?
Two more:Great shots Hacker! It's nice to see the lens maintains its look on the new body...
Looks like my desk! Couple of questions.Really weird, Leica on Nikon and Nikon on Leica!
I haven t tested this but there was a problem on the Canon bodies with accurate exposure metering. The Canon representative explained this on one of the forums and it appears that the body uses the aperture information to adjust the exposure metering. On an alternative lens it does not have the aperture information and each F stop was off by a different amount. The solution was to make a chart of exposure adjustments and then use the exposure adjustment necessary for your chosen aperture. Sounds worse than it is....as I tried to shoot wide open or at F5.6 and I knew the amount to adjust. Generally we are talking about 1/3 to 1/2 stop errors...which IMHO isn t critical for many uses and I don t meter that accurately anyway. I know for some applications you need to do better.I feel the metD3x doesnt work as reliable when using a Leica lens with Leitax adapter vs a Nikon lens.
Whats your guys experience?
Thx RobMacNice move. No, you need to order separately (from Leitax). That said the tools are high quality and nicely priced - and only need to be bought once. My kit arrived quickly, well packed and is quality gear.
