OMG, i didn't know that. I am so going to get one of those.Looks like the FA31 and FA77 and 50mm f/1.2 are going to be put through their paces.
this is what I have in mind:
FA31 LTD Vs Leica-M 35mm summicron (f/2)/summilux(f/1.4) pre-asph/asph
SMCP-K 50mm f/1.2 Vs Leica-M Noctilux 50mm f/1.0/Konica Hexanon-M 50mm f/1.2
FA77LTD Vs Leica-M summilux 75mm f/1.4
I know it's not entirely fair to test rangefinder glass against SLR glass, but what the hell...looks like I'm going to have a busy weekend.
Lol, you're ambitious! I have to admit, when I first saw that Novoflex Pentax K to Leica M adapter I started doing mental gymnastics about how reasonable it would be to run a duel Leica/Pentax system. Luckily for me the M9 is basically perpetually out of stock.
I'm not sure how the Pentax will do against their Leica counterparts, especially considering the Pentax lenses will have to be on an adapter (could degrade quality?). But I think it will be really cool if the lenses work on the M9 at all. I want to see how they look on the M9's sensor. I'm crossing my fingers that the adapter works in the first place.
