Most of the Leica lenses I use cost more than the conbination and will run rings around most Canon lenses. If only Leica could work out an agreement to supply its lenses with a mount to work with a modern digital body. I've given up waiting for a $5000 back that will likely be outdated by the time it comes to market. It seems digital technology advances about every six months.
