I am using it for images at work. I really prefer the lenses of my R cameras. This may have been discussed before but is there a digitial SLR that takes R lenses with an adapter? I don't mind manual focus. I actually prefer it. I'm just getting tired of waiting for Leica to develop their "R" digital back that will probably cost more than a new Canon 10D with a few lenses. It really bothers me that Leica has the best lenses in the analog world while I am slowly but surely changing to a digital world to save time and improve my results. The instant feedback has made me a better photographer by permitting me to experiment more to produce better images. When its all said and done, its the images that count. If I keep going down this road, I'll be using digital for work and an M camera and Tri-X for fun. Not sure how long that will last either. Photoshop continues to get better at manipulation. I wouldn't be surprised in the future if there were a Tri-X filter effect for digital images to make them look analog.
