Hi Ken,

I use the 100mm Apo Macro on my Canon 1DII, and on the 20D before  
that. It works great, and I actually plan to post an image taken with  
this combination in my PAW 30 coming up later today or tomorrow.

I have also dabbled with other Leica lenses on the Canons, but in the  
end kept only the Apo Macro.

Among the Canon lenses I have tried, I really like the 2.8/16-35mm L  
and the 2.8/200mm L. The 2.8/24-70mm is also very handy and in fact  
serves as my normal lens much of the time, but its image quality is  
not quite as good as the other two I mentioned. For low light I use  
the 1.4/35mm L and I am extremely happy with it. In the past I have  
also owned the 1.8/85mm (non-L, only about $300) and that lens was  
also very good. There is a 1.2/85mm L which I believe Tina has and  
that is supposed to be quite a lens as well.
