Philippe, the operation of the LeiCanon is very simple...
Put the adapter of your choice into the Canon's lens mount and mount your=
Leica lens. It doesn't matter if it has 1,2,3 or no cams. They all work=
the same.
Adjust your f-stop as usual... the only difference is that on a Canon body,=
the lens is in 'manual' mode, so as you choose a smaller f-stop, the lens=
will close down and the view finder darken.
In actual use, this is not as bad as it sounds, for the finder is=
acceptably bright to around f8. I still find the finder OK to use/focus=
with the f6.8 Telyt and a 2x converter with the Telyt set to f8 - so=
that's really f16. That is, however, about the limit.
Set the Canon to Av (aperture priority) and the camera will select the=
appropriate shutter speed for whatever f-stop you're using. Same as the=
"A" mode on the R8 & 9.

they're very well balanced.
Thank you, kind sir! :-)

As you wish... though it is a very unsual one! It can be found at
http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/Bathroom.htm (Peek now, if you wish, for the=
page will be taken down, in about 24 hours.)
Cheers!
