Very interesting, I only have M lens and no R lens, is it because the R lens don't have any DOF aperture preset type of button? Someone over at the OM list just got an OM-EOS adapter for 10D also. The OM lens have a push down DOF lever so he can preset it that way. It's manual aperture but he can use them all. Apparently the VF is not too dim until f5.6 or smaller. He is getting some nice pictures too. I guess possibly the Canon may become the "universal" body for all these companies not providing a viable digital solution. // richard <http://www.imagecraft.com> <http://www.dragonsgate.net/mailman/listinfo> - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
