Thanks for your comments Yaron. As I already have an M4, I think the best option for me will be to search out an M3. It's a camera I have always wanted to try in any event, and one that I think will...

I am looking for a film body that I would use exclusively (or almost exclusively) with my 75mm Summilux. In the past, I have used an 0.85x M6 and an 0.85x MP, both with a 1.25x magnifier. These...

I agree with Chuck. The technique of making fine adjustments to the focus by rocking your body slightly forward or back, rather than by turning the focus ring, can be very effective with the 90/2.

I have left mine optimized for 2.8 and really like it that way. It does not take long to learn to compensate for the focus shift. And, I think the lens is more versatile when optimized for 2.8.
