For others = Others already have the glass, know the glass's signature, and may also shoot slides and other films. Having an adapter has provided much pleasure, at times profit, and has saved me $'s by not requiring duplicating focal lengths in different systems. The notion that I have 10mm - 70mm covered in AF Aeverything canon glass and also have manual Leica lenses which cut beautiful images and work on R and Canon bodies feels very good in terms of backup gear for any assignment. BTW: I've never spent more than a half-a-zillion on a lens and none of them weigh more than a million pounds. Regards, George Lottermoser george@imagist.com On Mar 9, 2006, at 1:47 PM, B. D.
