Ken Lassiter > Boynton Beach, FL Novoflex Canon EOS body to Leica R lens adapter. Three significant issues to deal with. First, the adapter is not easily moved from one lens to another. Second, you must use stop-down metering. Third, several super wide angle lenses will not couple with the combination due to protruding rear elements. If I can remove the adapter from my 60mm macro lens without destroying the adapter, I will sell it. Gary - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
