[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Wayne, I've used Leica-R 4/ 21, 2.8/28, 2.8/35, 2.0/35, 2.0 /50 , 100 Macro, 2.8/135 and an old style (heavy!!) 250 mm with Novoflex and cheaper AF confirmation adapters with no particular problems - first on a 300D (Digital Rebel) and then on a 20D. Excellent results all round. Negative aspects: AE is a problem caused by an internal compensation curve in the camera electronics designed for Canon lenses. The exposure goes further off the mark the more you stop down. The finders of the two cameras I have are rather dim. The great advantage (for me): I now have a set of adapters for Leica_R, Rollei QBM, M42, Pentax K, Contax/Yashica, Canon FD, Tamron Adaptall, Novoflex and T-mount, as well as a non-infinity focus adapter for Exakta/Topcon. (Adapters are also available for Nokon, Minolta and several Medium format brands) I don't think you can get more versatile than that.
