It's a fun game to play but it can get expensive pretty quickly: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/720355-USA/Leica_11663_35mm_f_1_4_Summilux_M_Aspherical.html
I mostly used the 35mm Summilux on M cameras like this one:

It is a neat trick. And not being an ardent Leica enthusiast, all it did is make me grin.
ReplyDeleteOnly one observation: as a long-term user and appreciator of Olympus cameras (I currently have and use both an E-P5 and a E-M5.3 - the little Olympus body on which your Summilux is mounted looks a lot more like an E-PL1 than an E-PL2, unless my eyes and few remaining brain cells deceive me.
(Addendum: a few centuries ago, reading some thoughtful posts you wrote about the E-PL2 helped push me over the edge and I bought one and used it happily for several years, before migrating to greener photographic pastures. That makes me more of an ardent Visual Science Lab enthusiast than anything else, I think!)

ReplyDeleteBeen there done that (I still do too), thanks to you. 😉
Back in 2012, we went to Italy and I took an M7 with a Leica 21mm and 50mm dual-range and an Olympus EPL-5 with 12mm lens and an M to M43 adapter. This was my first trip where I used the digital camera more than the film camera, and I still pleased with the images made using the adapted lenses.

I just love that you live somewhere where folks give a hoot what lens is on the front of your camera. That just makes me smile. Around here everyone sports a Canon... and my little Fuji looks like a speedo in a room full of wetsuits.
