OOPS!!!!!!!!!! :-)  BIG TIME! :-(

Sorry Don, my apologies and error, as I obviouly mis-read your post given my 
comment.

OK now it's clear and I take it back in the direction they were given.

It was a thought of mine the other day maybe I'd get an M to EOS adapter, if 
there is one? And put the Noctilux on the 20D and see what happened. But I 
didn't know if an M lens would work on the 20D. Anyone out there tried this?

And with no RD-1 in my thoughts at the moment, even though Tom Abrahamsson 
let me try his which I found extremely interesting. However, I thought I'd 
be a loyal Leica user? ;-) And wait to see what they come out with. 
Whenever?
