novoflex adapter and a 5year old summicron it has some usermarks but looks fine Always used with a uv filter lens protection they have a different look and the summi seems maybe more sharp when i crop it to maximum but its a close call and to premature to be fact imo , i took some quick shots at F 5,6 1/125 and iso 400 albeit a bit underexposed no artificial light i make some more comparisons later with more pics .
Focuspeaking works fine , although it seems you need a bit faster shutterspeed on the leica , maybe the sony zeiss has some sort of stabilisation

Leica makes mirror less , the leica M(262) is a great little full frame camera as well, or leica Q (fixed lens )

Looks like your Leica is a perfect match to the Sony sensor!

Some shots with the leica lens , this is of a painting and the church in haarlem the organ , but you need a wide angle lens for that , 25 mm or something

I have Michiel Posts Organ Toolkit, which contains samples from this Bavokerk organ, among others. I use them on my Kurzweil K2600RS to make performances of orchestral works, such as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9r9G0CS0BM

No autofocus *and* wildlife... Like this?



Or this?




This from a 400/2.8 for real? Have it on pretty good authority that 1400mm won't be able to fill an APS-C frame completely:

Its with teleconverters of course .
2x and 1.4 afaik.and a bit cropped after .
Its in the video description on you tube.
Still extremely sharp.
Leica also has a 560 -800 mm for this modular system.
They also had a one off 1600 mm made for a sheik , over a 1 mIllion $$.

This system one can buy only second hand, its no longer in the productline
