[Leica] Leica R on Canon

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

Hi Gary,

It's a great shot if you like old vehicles - just the 
kind of thing I shoot with Leica lenses with adapters 
on my Canon 20D and 300D (bought when they came out, 
and still going strong).

I'm thinking more towards a Canon 6D - I can then get 
the best out of my Leica wides.

The other alternative would be a Fuji XE or XPro. 
Despite the smaller sensor, I could then use all my 
Canon FD glass as well.

Cheers
Douglas
