M Lenses on the X-Pro 1, a few results

[dcsang]

What are your setting for using Leica lens?

I can't seem to get any metering or any other control. More or less shot and adjust / repeat to find the right setting.

"Manual Focus" = on
"Focal Length Setting" = lens focal length mounted
"Shoot Without Lens" = on

using the EVF and if I have the 50mm lux on the camera and 50mm used in the "Focal Length Setting" then I get exactly what I see in the viewfinder EVF. The OVF is useless for framing at the current time with the Kipon adapter.

Regarding metering - the bar at the side of the viewfinder shows your exposure comp - it will not move. If you're shooting in Aperture priority then the shutter speed in the lower left hand side of the viewfinder does move depending on what the exposure is.

Cheers,
Dave

Thanks again Dave

I just want to clarify, IF you are in Aperture priority mode, with the shutter dial set to A, the meter on the left hand side DOES NOT move. Like Dave said, it shows you your exposure compensation.

If you are setting aperture, shutter and iso manually, the meter does indeed move with change of settings.

Ya that's right!!.. thanks for the correction on that - I'm almost always shooting in aperture priority merely because I do so with my M7's.. force of habit

I think I've shot manually a handful of times (maybe 10?)
