Leica M/X/T/S/Q/CL/SL Picture Thread
I must say I`m mightlity impressed with many of the images posted in this thread. There is great skill in evidence, plus a magical quality about these images. I`d like to come close to achieving this 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
