I have two "cheapo" adapters. They work just fine. Never used one of  
the "focus confirm" adapters. The R glass on the Canon bodies does  
work and they cut wonderful files. However, once I received the DMR -  
the use of R lenses on Canon bodies became quite cumbersome by  
comparison. Since then; it's Leica glass on leica bodies. Canon glass  
on Canon bodies; except for rare and unique circumstances.
