[Leica] R lenses on any Digital body

[leicar at q.com (Aram Langhans)]

I think one of the questions you have to ask yourself is what Leica lenses
do I have and how will a small format digital sensor effect them?  If you
like to use wides, you might have to invest in another lens or two to get
the effect you were use to on film.  If that is the case, then a smaller
drop factor of the Canon and Nikon (with the change in lens mount) might be
easier to swallow.  If you are into the telephoto range, then the 2x drop
factor of the Olympus might be to your liking.  Is image stabilization
important to you?  Olympus would be the way to go.

For me, at the time, Canon was the only option so I never needed to ask
myself that question, but now there are so many more options.
