There is an long technical thread at the Leica forum about the impact on hyperfocal focussing of using a CV lens (I assume it could be any Leica mount lens) on a M8. The gist is that you have to adjust the hyperfocal settings because of the crop factor on the M8 (1.33). Someone suggests the rule of thumb is one stop, e.g. set aperture to f/11 and hyperfocal settings to f/8.
I use hyperfocal focussing all the time with my Leica lenses on my R-D1. I've never done this and I can't recall seeing any focussing issues. Mind you I only ever focus hyperfocally at f8 and above when for most landscape or architecture settings I'm going to capture everything in my dof.
Anyway, is anyone aware of this issue with the R-D1?
