Oh, and I also use the 50mm summilux as my standard lens, though I hadn't 
thought of using this with an extender at all. I shoot mainly landscape and 
interior details, at zoos and aquariums. from all of the helpful comments, I 
may invest in the 100mm apo.


Sincere thanks,


James

First, I have been following this list for nearly six months now, and am truly 
grateful for the amazing images that you show. I have been a little too timid 
to post my own, but might do so soon (for camaraderie and what I am sure would 
be helpful critique!)


I do have a question regarding the Leitax conversion (for me, it would be on a 
Pentax as I still maintain my first camera, a K1000). I am shooting with an R5 
now, using mainly the 80mm Summilux, and the 135mm. While the Leitax site 
claims that the apo-extender would not degrade performance, is it an option to 
use the apo-extender with the summilux? I would like to keep using the R5 as it 
has become so natural feeling in my hands...and this seemed like such a good 
idea...


best,


James
