Hi, just curious but was wondering whether anyone has used or is currently using a Leica 75mm/f1.4 Summilux on an Epson R-D1. Seems it would be a pretty difficult lens to use given the combination of long focal length, 1.53x crop factor, lack of framelines, etc...not to mention a slightly shallower DOF when compared to the Noctilux wide open!
Seeing the thread on the "big bertha" and M8 combo got me thinking...and drooling. Then seeing the Leica rep at Samy's on Fairfax in LA and handling the M8 at length with its amazing viewfinder has left me just plain lustful.
If anyone has experience with the 75 Summilux on an R-D1, I'd be interested in hearing about it, especially if the use of a magnifier and/or lens+body calibration was necessary.
Thanks.
