[LRFlex] Another one went to the LEICANON dark force....

Cong Rats David!

I'm the retarded Typical French, when I see those Dials and Menus, it reminds me of an Embedded System <VBG>. Would love to work on the software of these marvels though, an old dream....

One of these days, I'll work out my Friend Serge to use the Canon 20D he bought recently fo the shop...

Enquiring minds want to see your pix, David!!

Kisses to Rose, a good purr to the Cat!

G'mornin' Noel!

I too, have picked up a Leica-R to EOS adapter - the fotodiox model, made in ???

Just two weeks ago, I purchased a 20D with the 17~85mm lens. The camera, at first, seems light and 'flimsy', but the controls are well thought out and conveniently placed. It's no Leica, but it is a very nice camera to use. (The 17-85 zoom, should you buy it, flares horribly. I have the optional lens hood on order and it's sorely needed! Otherwise, it's not a bad lens.)

Several people have posted here, that the finder is not what it might be... a bit dim. Certainly it's not up to the SL or R8/9 quality, but it works quite well for manual focusing. With the 50 or 90 Summicrons mounted, it's downright marvellous! I'll let you know how it works with one of my favourite combos - the 400/f6.8 Telyt and 2x converter. (Due to a recent move, I've had almost no time to 'play'.)

The best part, for me, is the ability to take a shot that 'might' work, and then see the result. If it didn't work, simply delete it! No costs involved. This cannot be said for film of any kind. The other joy is the ability to change the ISO (100 to 3200) at the flick of a dial ... something which cannot be said for any film based camera. You never have the wrong 'film' in the box!

I am still concerned over the permenance issues of digital shots, but keep hoping improvements will be made on this front.

Enjoy your 20D (or whichever model you choose) !

Cheers!
