They'd all stick out funny on the sides. And that lens that guy with the water and model had looked like it was proably up for the job. Just about any job. Very cool looking. VERY shagedelic. I'm not bullish on adaptors. I say use the stuff the thing comes with. All those people who bought Canons with the idea of an R adaptor how many of them used Leica lenses for more than five minute before they just used the very nice Canon glass with the silent AF and the full program? I would. When in Rome. Wear the Roman togas. You rinse them out in the sink with a little dish washing detergent and hang them over a chair to dry. That's my lifestyle now. Goodbye suburbia!
