[Leica] EF lenses on the SL

[Philippe]

Jayanand,

your remark makes sense if you start from scratch.

In this case, simply perhaps because Tina's already got an SL and Canon lenses. The ring is worth very little in comparison. And the ergonomics are more familiar on the SL (Nikon and Canon wheels/displays/interfaces are so weird for long-time Leica users).
Remember that there was a time when we would use our R lenses on the first digital canons while (impatiently) waiting for Herr Kaufman's (endlessly postponed yet now released) solution.

I know it does not have a red dot, but it is matched perfectly to those Canon lenses, and besides, it really is a state of the art digital camera body! :-)
