Could be a bunch of things.  As a retailer we use dots to signify all kinds of stuff in store.   We'll use a dot if a box has been opened and the camera/lens put on display.  This alerts any staff...

They already did that mate, with their Leica X1 and X2... this is supposed to be better somehow... go figure.

... Making the whole idea even worse IMO, you'd think they'd have more self respect.

This is what I don't get: On the one hand Leica will design an amazing 24-600mm f/2.8 lens to go in the FZ-200/V-Lux 4... then they turn around and "develop" this piece of garbage.

Yeah the...

You'll struggle to find anyone who'd argue against your logic

It'll be a close fight between those two for biggest camera fail 2013.

When you meet their intended buyer be sure to take a picture, I believe they're a myth.

This camera has no redeeming qualities, none.

With that spec list and price tag it should kick its own ar$e

Makes the Lunar look credible

So much for that "clever marketing strategy"

Its as if the Leica engineering dept have been living inside a bubble for the last few years. Look at the tripe they write in this press release

"The X Vario’s high performance image sensor is...

I'd rather super-glue the EOS M to its kit lens.

Estimating $800. Should be music to the ears of APS-C shooters

I wrote about 5 paragraphs just now about all the gear I used to have and all the stuff I have now.  But what a bunch of waffle... you don't want to read my entire photographic life story.  I had a...

Do you remember that rumor that was going around a while back that Fuji would release their own native X Mount tilt/shift?... I think I squealed and a little bit of pee came out that day.  I still...

Oh sorry mate, the 40mm Voight is a Nikon mount so it goes right onto the tilt/shift adapter.  I can imagine getting the leica mount ones to work would be somewhat trickier.

I have the exact same issue with rotation stiffness.  Even after a few months.  It was so bad that after opening the package I contacted the eBay seller because I was sure they had shipped me a...

I think I also chimed in on the discussion last time.   Good to see you taking the plunge babob.  I also ended up buying the adapter a few months ago and have been using it with a Nikkor 20mm f2.8...

Can't be done my friend :( hold out for the native Zeiss' in X-mount soon to be released.

But can you get that CV 15mm in a Nikon mount?  Or will you need another adapter on top of the T/S?Cheers,
