[Leica] M42x1-Canon EOS adapter with electronic focus confirmation

Hoppy,

Sorry my replies this week are so far behind, but I have been just swamped 
with work and other distractions.  Yes it is a lower magnification for 
eyeglass wearers.  But it is better than the normal VF.  I still have my F3, 
but it is mostly used by our exchange students who comeover and take 
photography classes.  I have not used it for years, I'm mostly a R and M 
shooter these days.  And now trying to get my hands around this D200, a nice 
bos in itself, if it only could use R lenses, I'd be in heaven.  ;-)
