[Leica] Leica M Mount lens for Canon EF mount camera

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram)]

I used my R lenses on Canon many moons ago because it was the only game 
in town when I wanted to go digital.? The exposure was a nightmare.? As 
you stopped down, the camera would undercompensate and images got more 
and more underexposed the more you stopped down.? This was using 
aperture priority.? Then someone came out with a way of replacing the 
rear lens mount with a Nikon F mount, so I switched to Nikon and all was 
right with the world again. And it got better performing sensors to boot.

Of course, a lot has happened since then and maybe a more modern Canon 
will meter fine with a totally manual lens.? But there is the issue of 
lens to sensor distance difference with M and Canon that would mean you 
can never focus to infinity with an M lens, so who cares about the 
metering issues.
