Some viewfinders are larger than others. All suffer from the second to some degree, and third. Nikon is not so bad as far as giving linear meter readings as you stop down. Best advice is as George said in a later post, get a cheap adapter and see if it works for you. I use Leica R glass on Nikon D600, and before that, D7000 and before that Canon Rebel XTi. Item 2 was not bad on the D7000 and better on the D600, but still a factor. Can't shoot anything moving fast, but most of what I like to shoot holds pretty still. http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/339980-1/yosemite-0174.jpg Aram -------------------------------------------------- From: "George Lottermoser" <imagist3 at mac.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2013 6:50 PM To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Subject: Re: [Leica] Canon EOS 70D DSLR body > Small, dark view finders; > So difficult to focus. > No auto diaphragm. > Non linear metering. > > Each of which may or may not bug you in use. > > a note off the iPad, George > > On Jul 2, 2013, at 7:48 PM, Jeffery Smith <jsmith342 at gmail.com> wrote: > >> What has been the downside of using Leica SLR glass on a full frame >> Canon?
