Raymond,

you can use all the Cannon lenses which fit on to your Model 7 , except the
50mm f0.95 on Leica Screw mount  cameras direct and on to M cameras with the
appropriate adapter. Leica M lenses can only be used on Leica M cameras. But
the Leica screw mount lenses will fit your Model 7 .  So will the new
Voigtlaender lenses.
