I usually shoot wide open or nearly so, using my eye and focus confirmation
(D700) as an aid (not hard)...
all this talk about leitax just convinced/stimulated me to order the kit for
the APO Macro Elmarit 100mm/2.8...
I already have converted the Summilux 50 1.4 and the Summilux 80mm 1.4
lenses...
here is an image taken with the Nikon D700 and the Summilux 80mm 1.4, shot at
