Even though I don't have a 4/3 camera, I greatly appreciate the effort
that you put forth to analyze this Dandelion adapter and identify the
problems associated with using adapters for Leica lenses on these bodies.
Perhaps Leica's best hope for competing in the digital arena is to provide
a compatible body (R10). But, it does make one wonder why they haven't
considered providing such compatibility via an adapter for their Digilux
3. I would think it better to sell that combination than to hand it all
over to the competition.
Thanks for your work on this!
Best,
Neil
