Thanks, Dave -- I'm finding that manual-focus for portraits in dim
light with the f1.4 lens is fairly good. Skin tones at 1600 ISO hold
up pretty well, too. On my older Olympus E-330 with Leica-R adapter,
ISO 400 was already a bit questionable.
Unfortunately, there is no DOF connection with an R lens on the
Canon. You focus and shoot at whatever f-stop is set on the lens.
Also unfortunately, Leica Company certainly abandoned a lot of R
lenses by going with the S2 and also abandoned a lot of M lenses by
only having a ridiculously priced body. Even factoring for inflation,
the M9 is two to three times the cost of the M2 back when I bought my
first Leica. Plus, the trend of all things digital is lower prices
for more capability. All except Leica.
Disappointedly,
Gary
