I sense from this, " Focus on the telephotos with the D700 is relatively easy up to f5.6 - f8.0. " it is not Auto Diaphram David Maybe the nikon has mechanical aperture triggering for N mount, this I don't know - the 4/3s bodies don't in any case ... too bad.
Seducing team this R&N is - and available now ...

Enjoy your weekend and ,

A very interesting series, Howard! The renditions do look "Leica sharp" and the colour rendition appears to be closer to Leicas than the cooler, more "Zeiss like" look of Nikon lenses.

Am I correct, that the Auto Diaphragm works properly?

If so, I'll be happy to see Leitax come out with an R to 4/3rd mount!

Cheers!
