Although it's not a 20D I do use Leica lenses on my Canon 1Ds Mk II.

The 100 APO works great as do the 280 and 560 and 35-70 zoom. I bought
an adaptor for each lens so they are quick to mount.

I also use, often the 24-70 f2.8, a fine lens, and the f1.4 50 which I
am not thrilled with.

I also have the image stabelized 70-200 f2.8 and it's a really good
lens, esp for portrait work. Coupled with a 2x telextender and you
have something useful to take to a ball game or into the field
although it won't be as sharp as the Leica glass.

I also replaced the focusing screen.
