Thanks for the link Robert. I'll give that a try.Good plan. Carl, you can use that lens with one of these, along with your Milich LTM adapter:

Robert, The 50mm 1.2 balances quite nicely on the G1 - not a huge lens like the 25mm Summilux. Here is a top view shot with the lens mounted via the Rayqual FD-MFT adapter. The latter is anodized aluminum and very light weight.Carl, I like the way that lens renders...how does the camera/lens combination feel? Is it a little front-heavy? Could you do a side shot of the G1 with lens and adapter?
Interestingly, I just received my Canon Lens Converter B today. Add an LTM adapter, and presto, it becomes a Canon FD --> Leica M adapter. But I don't have any FL or FD lenses yet to play with.
Vivek, I don't have a hood for this lens yet, but I will need one for sure. There is some CA, but not too bad and I didn't correct for it in the raw conversions (LR 2.2).Could be interesting for portraits, Carl. It appears that CA could be a problem.
Are you using a long enough hood on it?
