[Leica] Canon DSLR R lens use

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey@mchsi.com)]

Hi Ted,

Thanks, I will probably get an adapter with the focus confirmation function. 
 I have the S. Gandy adapter which arrived today and I find it a bit hard 
with the 24 and the 60 Elmarits, but with some care can get good images.  My 
80~200 works better.  But it all seems to work fine for now, and I guess 
with practice it will improve.
