I use R lenses on my EOS via the Novoflex adaptor. Since it is mechanical it passes no information between the lens and body. It works either in manual or aperture priority mode only and there is no auto iris. It works OK on a tripod and whenever wide open(ish) shooting is appropriate. I use my 280 and 100 lenses on EOS1n and 10D. cheers Frank On Friday, December 5, 2003, at 01:45 pm, Howard Ritter wrote: > Pardon my ignorance, but once again in this forum I see reference to > using > Leica R lenses on Canon SLR bodies.
