In the end that's really all that matters. Lord knows the "world of adapters" provides us with endless fun and possibilities. I've explored that world by putting: R glass on Canon 5D Hasselblad glass on M8, Canon 5D and R8/DMR M glass on Canon 5D and R8/DMR View camera glass on Canon 5D, R8/DMR and M8 Enlarger glass on Canon 5D, R8/DMR and M8 In the end I fall into that apparently small group who finds the R glass on the (not absent to me) R8/DMR both fully functional and extremely convenient (for my way of working). Yes the M9 does seem inconveniently out of reach for the moment. Yet I also find the M8 with M glass fully functional and extremely convenient to use. And the same can be said for the 5D and Canon glass.
