p.2 #1 · p.2 #1 · Leica R lenses used on a Sony A99 body


You may want to wait for the release of the rumored FF Sony E mount/NEX camera as an alternative to the A99.

Many of us are waiting to see what Sony releases in terms of this camera. This camera should allow the usage of an adapter with the R lenses without changing any of the mounts. Something to consider, particularly if you have a lot of lenses and you are or will be using the Apo extenders (1.4X and 2 X) with any Leica Tele and zoom lenses.

I and many others are hoping that this will be a good alternative and quite possibly will have a new and greater mega pixel sensor. At this point if Sonyalpha rumors is correct, Sony will have an announcement about the camera on September 24. Availability after that we will have to wait.

Count me among those waiting.

The number of pixels doesn't concern me as much as do the color quality and color discrimination, and the quality and responsiveness of the viewfinder.

sounds like the one I got from Fotodiox from Amazon I will use for a 50 summicron, but from now on I'll go to Leitax.


thanks, Steve
