I'm used to manual focusing and exposure. Thx for any >information. Many Canon users are getting simple adapters to put Leica-R lenses on Canon cameras. There are also some chipped adapters that enable electronic focus confirmation. There are some issues you might have to work out, for example exposure metering accuracy varies as you stop the lens down, and unless your camera's mirror box and viewscreen are particularly well-adjusted, accurate focus on the viewscreen and accurate focus on the image plane can be different and will need some adjustment. AFAIK the mirror box accuracy is much more reliable with the 1-series bodies. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
