If you want an "other" brand which can use R lenses with adapters, only Canon EOS will do so (o.k. also the various 4/3 cameras). But if you are looking for a manual, mechanical camera, then you can forget Canon EOS. About manual Nikons, I used to love them and used them almost exclusively for 15years. But since I've gotten my Leicaflexes, my Nikon FM, F & F2 are sitting and collecting dust. ----- Original Message ---- From: Kevin Willey <kevinwilley@xxxxxx> To: leicareflex@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, June 20, 2009 3:19:21 PM Subject: [LRflex] Re: Camera Choice Advice Sought Doug, David and other Leica SLR affectionados, Thank you for your responses. All good advice, yet I feel like I"m looking back (SL, SL2, R6.2, R7, R9) and perhaps I should be embrace the future with a Canon, Nikon, Sony A900, et al. with a R-lens adapter. Will mull this over as I continue to read up on the literature and your expert opinions. Again, thanks for the contributions from this genuinely wonderful forum.
