Hi Douglas,
dang son we who've been shooting in this fashion for sometime know this 
secret. :-) Heck all they needed to do was call the LEICANON shooters on the 
list and they could've had a zillion beautiful examples! ;-)

But you see what makes this announcement so important to some is, it comes 
from "A Leica specialist instructor!"

Heck out here in the real world we have almost every nationality using some 
form of Leica lens and Canon 20D or other version and we've been telling 
folks how great it is for years? Well OK maybe a year with the 20D, just how 
beautiful this combination is and produces such remarkable results it must 
be seen to believe.

So I don't see any big deal in this guy doing this kind of 
instruction/demonstration and I say "IF" Leica were swift enough, not a 
hope, they'd tie in with Canon, (never happen)  producing this concept and 
start banging out digital sized lenses of Leica quality for the 20D and the 
new Canon to replace the Canon shortly. ;-)
