I just bought a lovely older Leica lens, and I\'m looking for some knowledgeable folks to answer a couple questions. I hope the lens is adaptable to digital bodies, as I\'m very impressed by its condition. The lens glass is clear of marks, coated, super-smooth in operation of focus and aperture, and has a nearly round aperture (15-blade?). Even though it is f/4, it should take some nice pictures (MFD just under 1m).
My questions are:
1) What are the correct adapters to be able to mount to M4/3? Does it need to be done in stages, or will the one I ordered work?
2) Is this lens adaptable to EOS mount, or is it similar to Leica M mount, and not able to focus at infinity?
