I must say I`m mightlity impressed with many of the images posted in this thread.
There is a magical quality about these images and I`d like to come close to achieving with my current camera but need some advice and guidance on how to do so (if possible).
I have a nikon d3x and have just bought a leica R 100/2.8 macro lens, though I haven`t had chance to use it as the adapter hasn`t arrived. If I bought large aperture R primes for my d3x, would I be able to produce similar images to those done with an m9/8? I had the following summicron r lenses in mind: 35/2, 90/2, and 180/2
Do M and R lenses have similar qualities?
How much of the leica image quality is due to lenses, and how much is due to the sensor?
Ideally I`d buy an m9, but at the moment this isn`t an option
