Please view Large.

Shot with a Canon 5D and Leica 50mm Summicron-R ROM lens.

Yes, I know it's not a particularly interesting image (it's just an
old truck used for small private airplane maintenance), but it's one
of those images I've taken with my Leica R lenses mounted on a DSLR
which sticks in my mind's eye.

It is also "Exhibit A" in the case for why I should keep at least one
Canon DSLR, even when I am thinking of selling my entire Canon kit to
fund the purchase of a Pentax 645D.

I have quite a few excellent Canon L series lenses, but the Leica R
glass has something special which I want to see in a digital image.
And yet, I want to mount my Leica R lenses on my R8, R6.2 and R3, so
there won't be a Leica to Nikon conversion in my future.

So I've decided that whatever else happens, I will keep at least one
Canon DSLR body....for my Leica glass.  :-)
