Canon DSLRs have some kind of circuitry that corrects for the focal length and aperture of Canon lenses attached. It can't be turned off (at least not on the 20D and 300D I have, maybe you can with the new 5D, but I doubt it) and screws up metering and exposure with "adapted" lenses. I had an article from Canon about it somewhere - if I find it, I'll pass it on. Nevertheless, Canons are a very good platform for Leica lenses (and Contax, Pentax, Nikon etc, etc. with decent adapters) Cheers Douglas Greg Lorenzo wrote: > Been ignoring digital SLR's as Leica has only made the now discontinued > DMR. > > > > Is the Canon EOS 5D Mark II my best digital FF option for using with my R > glass? > > > > TIA. > > > > Greg Lorenzo > > Calgary, Canada > > _________________________________________________________________ > Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft's powerful SPAM protection. > http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/177141664/direct/01/ > http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/177141664/direct/01/ > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > >
