Heck out here in the real world we have almost every nationality using some form of Leica lens and Canon 20D or other version and we've been telling folks how great it is for years? Well OK maybe a year with the 20D, just how beautiful this combination is and produces such remarkable results it must be seen to believe. So I don't see any big deal in this guy doing this kind of instruction/demonstration and I say "IF" Leica were swift enough, not a hope, they'd tie in with Canon, (never happen) producing this concept and start banging out digital sized lenses of Leica quality for the 20D and the new Canon to replace the Canon shortly. ;-) ted.
