Congratulations! The baby is just beautiful.

I have a Hexanon 50/2.4. It is a very sharp lens.

I have read about this adapter, but I trust DAG more than my own ability or lack of it to make such modifications. Don needs the ND filter to do some adjustments, and he will code the lens.

Since I am expecting to get back my Leica M9 soon with a new sensor, I decided it is best to focus on using this camera and not get another camera at this time. I was drawn to the Zeiss Hologon 16/8 since a while as it will open up a new type of photography for me. I am used to 50mm and 35mm...

What looks different with the different cameras used?

Hi Hamish, Happy New Year! I want to ask you for your opinion on getting a Hologon 16/8 modified to M mount. There is one for sale at a very good price. Thanks. Raid

Your lens did very well in your hands. I am looking for such a 75/1.4 lens. The asking prices vary greatly online.

Thanks for the technical facts, Brian. The M240 is not bad at all, but the M8 and M9 may have an edge for soft pastel colors (which I try to catch).

Same to you, Brian. May 2018 be an even better year!

Thank you, Carl, and same to you and to your family.

What is special about a J-8M?

Someone emailed me that now the color images don't look as good as they sued to (with the old sensor). Is he wrong. Brian? This is good to know. Yes, I have been waiting for some time now (since last July I think). I have the loaner M240 :)

I am still waiting to get back my M9 from Leica NJ, and I wonder how the images will be like with the replacement sensor. Has anyone here seen major differences in their M9 after getting a new sensor?

My only "Leica mount Minolta lens" is a 21mm/3.5 that I use with a Minolta-Leica adapter for some very nice looking images.

I love using the legendary Canon 85/1.5. It is a very special lens by Canon. Using it on a digtal camera allows us to quickly correct any focus issues. Digital cameras brought such lenses "added value" since these lenses became more useful.
