[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have been looking for a lens adapter to use Leica lenses on Canon digital SLR (in particular D30). I first heard about such adapters here on the LUG. I just came back from the Photographica camera show here in the Boston area, where none of the dealers have heard of such a thing. (Saw Sherry Krauter in good form, though didn't have a chance to tak to her, as she was very busy). I had hoped to be able to try it first hand, but that didn't work out too well, I would appreciate comments about the shortcomings of using such adapters with Leica R lenses with Canon digital bodies, in particular the D30 and 1D. Lenses I have in mind are 70-200 APO Vario Elmarit 2.8, 100 Macro Elmarit, 19mm (will this one even work on an adapter ?) Finally, where can I buy the adapter ? Any particular brand ? The prospect of being able to use R lenses on a digital body is very exciting to me, and may convince me to keep my lone R lens. Thanks in advance for any help, - - Phong - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
