I went Canon, as it was the only game in town other than DMR, and then Nikon when it became possible to change the mount. DMR would still be a consideration, even at 10mp compared to the 24 I am using now. Even at 1.3 crop compared to the full frame now, but weight is even more a factor as I am a bit older now. I could not see carrying it on the 8 mile hike , 3200 foot elevation change, I just took, along with all the lenses I would have needed. But no one can argue with the results and that is is really the only way to have a fully functioning R system today for all the reasons you listed. Would be fun to try it out on a local trip.

The DMR as part of the R SYSTEM is a fully functional component within that well designed system; which includes: bright, clear viewfinder for precise manual focus; auto diaphragm; precise, accurate metering; use of any and all R lenses; etc. Canon + adapter + R lens: Significantly dimmer viewfinder; difficult to manually focus even wide open; metering issues when stopping down; not all R lenses will work - at infinity; etc. a note off the iPad, George On Jul 4, 2013, at 10:28 PM, John McMaster <john at mcmaster.co.nz> wrote: > Anyone care to comment on his or her experiences using Leica+DMR versus > Canon+adapter?
