Hey we discovered this ourselves, people right here on the LUG and if Leica hadn't had themselves in such a financial screw-up and had the smarts to produce a digital camera sooner, whatever model, it's highly unlikely the Leica-Canon combination would've evolved. Anyway it has and works very well, certainly for those of us who think positive. I don't have any problem with this arrangement, as I've had the good fortune to get some damn fine "Leica lens imagery" with this mating routine of Leica lens to Canon body. And I consider I'm still shooting Leica for what I always bought a Leica for, fast glass and the best. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited 1817 Feltham Road Victoria BC V8N 2A4 Canada 250-477-2156
