The Leica M Typ 240 is the first M camera to offer Live View, which affords a cornucopia of lens choices with DSLR lenses being particularly friendly to the sensor (ray angle).
In Guide to Leica I explore the performance of the Nikon 50mm f/1.2 AIS to the Noctilux and Summlux on the M240. The results are both as expected, and surprising. Well worth a read for Leica M240 users, even if other focal lengths are on the agenda.
