Then as they are drying, look for the best contrast and sharpness on that roll. I can bet you that the Canon images will look washed out and soft next to the Leitz glass images. I've shot with Canon lenses, some of their reputed best LTM. I found them useless for serious work. Look at Karen's web site for more Canon LTM myth busting by practical use. You're in this deep into the Leica equipment, why step back into the stone age with Canon LTM glass. These days, with the collector driving up the cost of Canon glass, it makes the Leitz lens a better buy.
