Our local Leica dealer in Hannover has sold 2 and has 15 ordered, the remaining 15 are arriving at the rate of 1 per month. Also - an unnamed (I know his name but I'm not telling) Leica academy bloke has been demonstrating (not in Germany)the effectivity of Leica glass on Canon DSLRs by showing enormous enlargements from "Leicanon" hybrids. He is reported to have officially recommended the 20D as a "practical alternative" until the DMR is readily available. cheers Douglas BTW Zeiss/Yashica lenses are at rock bottom prices on the s/h market here. Picked up a 1,4/50 and a Yashica 2,8/24 for just 60 euro today, will be trying them out on the 20D when it get's light tomorrow.
