No question the pixel numbers do seem to make a difference. Or whatever it is, the 20D creates some beautiful images quite different to the Digi 2. Not that the digi 2's images weren't great, they were as you well know how excited I was with it. However, this 20D is a camera like a camera should feel in these ancient hands. ;-) Or whatever it is, it's wonderful. :-) I have the Leica-EOS adapter on order from Stephen Gandy, hopefully it'll be here early next week. I wondered if I shouldn't have ordered more than one and put them on the Leica lenses I would use most. Or do you put the adapter on the camera and just change lenses leaving the adapter attached to the camera? The other thought I had was, I'd see how well I worked with the Leica lenses doing manual focus on the tiny screen viewfinder, or look at a few fast Canon auto-focus lenses. Simply because the auto-focus is so fast and right on the mark it's quite amazing. Besides, I'm sure my tired old "one eye" ;-) is slipping sharpness slightly even with the R8 and it's brilliant screen as I seem to take longer to feel I'm right on the mark sharp. Anyhow a question or two looking for guidance at your convenience. Thanks. kindest regards, ted
