Even though I haven't yet "graduated" to digital, I find your comments
interesting.
Just a couple of questions;
1) do the R-lenses stop down automatically?
2) is there automatic metering or is it manual?
3) is your focus manual or auto?
I prefer manual focus, so #3 doesn't matter. i can live just fine with manual
exposure because I'm an R6 guy. I would really the lack of auto stop-down a
drag.
Thanks for your post.

Subject: [LRflex] Summilux R 50mm F1.4 on Canon 5d Mark II
I bought the Canon 5d Mark II used a couple months ago, mostly to use
for aerial photography with my Leica APO 70-180 f2.8. On its first
use to photograph a five acre ranch from about 1200 feet altitude,
you can clearly read the For Sale sign!
Attaching a Summilux R 50mm F1.4 and setting ISO to 3200 makes for an
incredible all-weather night-fighter. The Canon Eg-S viewfinder
screen for fast lenses gives great focus capability in low light,
too. I posted photos from our local Saturday Night Arts Alive art
walk evenings. These are from two different outings, include night
shots in a light rain.
It feels like I finally have the camera body worthy of the R
lenses, and I am loving the fine detail even at high ISO.
