:eek: I post this thread at the risk of it being a really dumb question. But I am in the market for at least one R lens, having sold my 80 Lux, and I am thinking of the future with the lens I may purchase. Is it possible or recommended to fit R lenses on the S bodies?

 

If not, I may stock up on another R8/R9 body or two.:p

Ahhh - so when Leica designed in the "focus past infinity" capability way back when - it wasn't, as originally claimed, to compensate for thermal expansion. But to make the lenses forward-compatable with an as-yet unimagined oversized digital body. ;)

 

Shorter R lenses will be limited to more or less a macro range, however, on the S.
