Also the full frame Canons cannot use the wider Leica lenses due to rear element intrusion. Ken the 30D is the replacement for the 20D and is a very nice body. I almost bought it, but ended up opting for the Nikon D200, which while cannot use Leica R glass, it is very nice and can use all older Nikkors with AI and AIS with complete meter functionality.
