Subject: [Leica] Canon digital equivalent to R7 and 100mm APO?

A 2.8/160mm Apo Macro is no bad thing!

As for shooting at f8: I have so far only used it at wider apertures, up 
to 5.6, and then focusing has not been a problem. At f8 or smaller it 
may be a problem, but then again, if you shoot a lot at f8/f11, then you 
might as well get the Canon macro.
