Good match. >But I'm watching that, > more and more, they are actually using right now >Canon lenses too.<<<<< Hi Felix, I think it's possible you may have read my post in error. The comments >>"all the image is smeared...other than central portion"<< was a comment >>by Robert Stevens from his experience and an image on the Canon internet site, not mine. I trust in the next couple of days to be using a 5D with the 15mm Leica R lens, one of my favourites for travel photography assignments and interiors, and I'll see for myself. If as Robert has shown and offered, the images are badly smeared I'll stay with my 20D and the 10mm-22mm lens for superwide frames at the moment until this situation is corrected. ted..
