I tried some LTM lenses on my m43 Panasonic. The lenses worked beautifully, 
but using an electronic viewfinder for focusing manually and stopping down 
manually after focusing reminded me of why I wanted an M8. So I could focus 
quickly and easily and not have to stop down manually.

As good as the Fuji XPro and Sony NEX-7 are, they will always be only 
partially usable with lens adapters. That said, BD's photos using the Fuji 
XPro1 and the Fuji 35/1.4 are enough to get me to liquidate my assets, if 
you know what I mean.

I HAVE seen some great shots taken with ContaxG lenses on a mirrorless 
digital body. They would be great for shooting landscapes or other immovable 
subjects. Wonderful glass.

Regards,

Jeffery
