I assume what you said below applies only to M lenses... - ----- Steve > > For normal focussing distances this is a fantasy, because the flange-to-film plane distance on a rangefinder is shorter than on any 35mm-based reflex camera, at least the ones I know of. For close-ups with typical M lenses, or viso lenses at normal distances, you can use one of the adapters like those sold by Stephen Gandy to put the lens on a D30 or D1, or you can use a viso-to-R adapter and then get a Novoflex R-to-EOS adapter. > > Doug Herr > Birdman of Sacramento > http://www.wildlightphoto.com >
