Dave,
if it's anything like the Novoflex 400/5.6 you should have no problems, even a
Sigma fixed aperture mirror lens (f8) in average conditions can be focussed
reasonably easily, depends on the subject really.
This shot, cropped out of the middle of a frame, has been posted for quite a
while now , since before the 20D,(so you may have seen it already) and was taken
with the Sigma 600/8 on a Digital Rebel (300D) at a distance of around 12 meters
in overcast weather, the 300D finder is a bit dimmer than the 20D. It's not
quite pin-sharp but the subject was on a wobbly twig.

I find I have more difficulty focussing wide angle lenses with the Canon screens.

Nice shots, Steve. At what f/stop do you find focusing becomes a problem with the 20D and the Leica lenses? I have a 400mm f/6.8 Telyt which I would like to use with a 20D. Just wondering if I could still manually focus it in average lighting.

Nice work, Steve. All of 'em... though I think I prefer the second one... not sure just why.
I take it you're using Aperture priority and stopping down darkens the finder?
Seems to works well enough for the girls I go with!

thanks David... yes, aperture priority...with no problem focussing even in dim light.....
