[Leica] Leica R Lenses on Canon DSLRs

[dnaplasmid at compwrx.com (Aram Langhans)]

Hmmm.  Do you think this was an "on purpose" or just needed for the full 
frame capabilities of this camera?  I had been seriously thinking this was 
my "in" for a DSLR, but now I don't know.  I also remember seeing in the 
specs that it does not have focus confirmation.  Is this correct?  Another 
"on purpose"???
