Just curious if anyone tried this combo? I have a longing for the Noctilux, but I want AE and I'm still not sold on M7...

cheers,

pat

I was just about to ask the same question...

I just read an interesting article here.

One the issues in this article is the focussing accuracy of the 0.6 viewfinder in combination with higher speed lenses like the noctilux and the 75lux. The author explains why this can be a problem, but I donīt get it completely: will there be an inaccuracy only at the shortest focal length or on the full range of these lenses? Will the same problem occur with the 0.58 Leica viewfinder?

Any advice or user experience is highly appreciated!

One of my friends has a Hexar RF and uses the 50/1 and 75/1.4 with no problems.

Maybe we can talk Lutz into making an adapter that will allow the Leica 1.25 magnifier to screw onto the Hexar RF viewfinder. That would be awesome!
