Subject: [Leica] "R" lenses on digital bodies

Wayne,

I have tried my R lenses on Canon DSLRs, and found the experience less than 
desirable.  Then I found a DMR for my R8, and now am very satisfied.  I 
would not go back to an adapter system as long as my DMR is working, for any 
reason.

All,

I know there are some serious R/DMR users here... I would really like to 
have some comments from users of the only real Leica R digital answer to the 
use of "R" lenses on a digital body.

Regards,

Wayne
