Subject: Re: [Leica] Canon adapter for R lenses

Stephen Gandy's adapter (see http://www.cameraquest.com) will do the 
job.  However, the linkage is entirely mechanical - no autofocus, of 
course, and stop down metering.  On the 10D, I use the aperture 
preferred and manual metering modes.  I have no experience with the 
functionality of the Canon shoe mount flashes with the adapter and R 
lenses.
