[LRFlex] Leica on EOS 350D (also called Rebel digital XT in US)

Hello everybody,

Just wondering, has anybody tried to mount Leica
glasses on this new Canon body (350D)? It is 8MP, and
from the review, the results are almost the same as
the bigger brother i.e. 20D.

White Paper on 350D (or XT in US):

The down side, is that the viewfinder (which I think
will be one of the key points for those of us using
L-glasses), has a magnification of 0.8 and a smaller
view finder ... But this is just "on paper". I wonder
in practical terms - does this make much difference in
the ability to focus easily with the Leica glasses?

Care to share?

I think "on paper" the 350D has lots of potential:

We are looking at US$900 instead of US$1400 for 20D
.... and my guess, will be, very likely an upgrade
will be due in 2 years.... 

350D is light (540g wh batt) .. perhaps even can carry
it as a second body (or 1st body) on top of another
film camera ..heh! heh!
