So far I've used one on an EOS 500N, a 300D and a 20D. Ok you're limited to the settings Av and Manual when metering, and you don't have AF (which you didn't have anyway on a Leica-R). You would probably notice metering value discrepancies when using different brand lenses anyway, I've noticed this when using Sigma and Tamron on Leicas and Canons. This bothered me a little at first but it seems to be just a numerical thing, the metering was always spot-on. Just one tip, focus wide-open then stop down, meter and shoot.
