I use Leica glass all the time, and without the use of a Canon.

Could care less about FF on my Nikons. The D2x and even Leica's DMR shows
the quality of non-FF to be just as good as FF. Nikon's main problem IMO is
that they still do not produce their own sensors like Canon can. The only
one Nikon makes is for the D2h/D2hs which is good except in high iso.
