I have: 
a lot of R glass.
a Canon 5D.
3 or 4 Canon to R adaptors.
a Leica R8/DMR.

The only times I may use an R lens on the Canon if I need:
1) the full view of the 21mm.
2) f:1.4 and high ISO

otherwise - the Canon 24-70 and 70-200
perform in all their auto glory well enough on that body;

and manual focusing on the 5D simply sucks (for me).
