[Leica] Leica R to EOS lens adapters

[dnaplasmid at compwrx.com (Aram Langhans#2)]

I guess that would be true if you were mixing Canon and Leica lenses.  If 
you are always using Leica lenses just leave the adapter attached tothe 
camera full time and exchange the lens just like it was an R body.  That is 
what I do.  So, one adapter, with focus confirmation, of course, is all you 
need .  Also, a wise investement is the Nikon eyepiece magnifier DK21M that 
also fits the 
EOS Canon bodies.  It really makes manual focusing on those small, dim EOS 
viewfinders much easier.

Only real problem I am having, that no one mentioned before I bought my 
Canon, is that as you meter in either manual mode or aperature priority 
mode, when you stop the lens down the camera meter does not respond in a 
similar fashion.  The more you stop down, the more it overexposes the image. 
 I have to use the +/- override to compensate. Why that is I am not sure.  
Doesn't seem to matter if I am using an f-2 or f-2.8 or f-4 lens.  It meters 
fine wide open, but I have to compensate when I stop down.  Rather 
frustrating.

Gene, you can use one adapter for all the lenses, it just takes more
time to mount/dismount and now also change the adapter.

do make sure you get one the ones with AF conformation, (all over
ebay), it make a big diffrence in both focusing and lighting. i use
one adapter for all of my r on canon but i dont do it often
