Hi Stephen, I use my 50mm DR on a Panasonic GX1 M4/3 body. It's true that the field of view is that of a 100mm lens, no longer a 50mm, but the advantages far outweigh that change. GX1 bodies cost about $250 now. The Leica M mount to M4/3 adapter was about $100. No need to alter the lens in any way. You can use the close focus range without the goggles by shifting over the "hump", and depressing the lock button. Because of the crop factor the close range gives quite significant macro capability. The results are astounding. Check it out for quite a small investment! Best wishes, David

<p>Caught at Bar Harbor last summer. This is probably as close as I will ever come to the "decisive moment"... Just in the right place at the right moment. This was taken with a Panasonic GX1 with Leitz Telyt-V 200mm.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello, All,<br> <br />I often wander over to the Nature forum from Leica & Rangefinder Land and am awed by some of the images that are posted in this great thread. Recently I have started using a Panasonic with heritage Leitz lenses, exploring the many possibilities which the digital medium offers. This is an image from yesterday of a Black-Capped Night-Heron fishing below a weir on the Charles River in Boston.</p><div></div>
