The Legacy of Sir William Osler. > http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant I found an Leica R lens to EOS body adapter at Calumet. It was $150 and works great. It does focus to infinity. The auto diaphragm no longer works but those aperature preferred auto exposure functions (and program) work just fine. I have been using it with the 180mm APO-Telyt and the 400mm TELYT. Since I almost always use these at max aperature, I don't miss any of the non-working functions (except auto focus). This adapter is also handy when I need a very sharp image; I can use the 50 Summicron. Randolph Carlisle
