Subject: [Leica] OT Manual lens on 5DII

Not entirely a Leica topic, but it is partly.  I wish to use a manual  
focus lens on my 5DII.  I have a Pentax SMC-A 50 1.2 and will buy an  
EOS adapter mount for it.  One of these days I might think about  
getting a Leica-R lens to use on the Canon.  I just wonder if getting  
a focus confirm mount is worthwhile and if anyone here has any  
insight / experience about this.

My 5DII focus screen is the normal one that came with the camera and I  
might well get another screen for use with fast lenses.  I know the  
usual screen on the 5DII shows no difference between 1.2 lenses and  
those up to 2.8, because it is designed for 2.8 and above.
