OkGodders, when you get back to New York later this year you can borrow my K-5 while we walkabout - and I'll use your Leica while you are using myk5 :-)

I could fit a Pentax lens on the Leica SL body with an adapter. But I sold off 
all my good Pentax lenses that I would want to shoot with when I sold the K100 
body.

Time has marched on. My photography today is done with the Leica M-D typ 262 or 
the Light L16 most of the time.

I appreciate the PDML Annual and applaud what everyone is doing in it!

For the cost of that perhaps I could buy an adapter to put the lens on my Leica 
M typ 262, but it wouldn't bring up the frames lines, or work the rangefinder 
mechanism, so framing would require an accessory viewfinder (which in fact I 
have for 28mm and 35mm) and I'd have to use scale focussing, so a bit 
haphazard. Then there's the question of whether a Pentax film-era lens and a 
Leica sensor could produce images of any technical quality worth showing...

I don't have an interchangeable-lens Fuji, so that's out.

Maybe an adapter for my Olympus E-3. The lens would become a 48-70. How would 
that be on the sensor? I remember my stunning Zeiss lenses turned to shit when 
I used them with a 4/3rds adapter. And there are reports of lens getting stuck. 
Plus, stop-down metering. Why would I bother, really?

So, sorry mate. Ain't gonna happen.
