I was coming from the other end, where I had both Canon and Leica lenses, and much as I loved the Leica lenses, in the end., it was much simpler for me to just use Canon lenses. Not easy to give up the 100 Macro Elmarit and 70-80 Apo Vario Elmarit, I can tell you that. Nor the 19mm if I had it, I suppose. - Phong
