Even more than with films, so I suppose that Leica R lenses will produce excellent results in EOS high resolution cameras, better results as bigger resolution has the camera. I was prepared for using my Leica R lenses in my EOS 1Ds but I've found that L lenses from Canon are excellent with digital Canon DSLR and I enjoy automatic everything. For all of you with a good arsenal of R lenses a EOS digital body is a good solution. Felix
