Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net Shot with a Canon 5D and Leica 50mm Summicron-R ROM lens. Yes, I know it's not a particularly interesting image (it's just an old truck used for small private airplane maintenance), but it's one of those images I've taken with my Leica R lenses mounted on a DSLR which sticks in my mind's eye. It is also "Exhibit A" in the case for why I should keep at least one Canon DSLR, even when I am thinking of selling my entire Canon kit to fund the purchase of a Pentax 645D. I have quite a few excellent Canon L series lenses, but the Leica R glass has something special which I want to see in a digital image. And yet, I want to mount my Leica R lenses on my R8, R6.2 and R3, so there won't be a Leica to Nikon conversion in my future. So I've decided that whatever else happens, I will keep at least one Canon DSLR body....for my Leica glass. :-) Gary
