"i've just bought a brand new M9, what lens should I get?"

Seriously. If you have enough cash to spend on any Leica. You should be well aware of what lenses you want.

Why can't Leica make the M9 cheaper?

(okay, maybe not the most common question but it's one I want an answer to - LOL!)

> Is it really possible to adjust a regular J3 (for example) to Leica mount?

I have a J3 which back focuses a little bit, so if I´m getting it right, I might adjust it for close ups wide open while probably loosing a bit of focus at infinity... Sounds good enough to me 🙂

It sounds like you J-3 is adjusted fine. It's not unusual for a fast lens to be a little off wide open at close focus. If you "fix it," it might be dead-on at close focus wide open, but it will be a little off everywhere else and the next person will wonder why their J-3 is slightly off, and put it down to FSU-Leica incompatibility 🙂

Sometimes its not the question, but the answers and logic that follow.:bang:

Which of these lenses is the sharpest?

The lens that I have in my basement collecting dust. It cost $40,000 to make and had the steel in the barrel specially formulated to match the change in index of refraction of the optics across a broad temperature range.

I found it in the garbage at work.

As someone else said.....the infamous film v digital question which regularly regurgitated like a baby seagull's lunch. Yuk!

 

[Sonnar Brian]

I can fit it to an SLR barrel, try it with the Nikon. It will form an image, and was used in an optical computer in the 1980s. It was used with -pinky to lip- "LAZUHRS". And the thing is sharp down to the last fraction of a wavelength of light.

I'd like to buy ******. Do I need it?

or

"What would be the best lens for the M9 I'm about to buy? I want to have the absolute truth."

The latter was actually asked on a Finnish forum, and the OP was insulted with the answers that there is no
absolute truth when in comes to what is the best lens. Sigh....
