I used to think the Canon 5D or 5DmkII would be a good adaptable solution. Now
I'm on the fence to using a Nikon D700 with the new CPU Zeiss lenses (I already
have some Nikon lenses). I would have to sell off some of my R lenses; which I
really don't want to do if I can help it. You can go either route as Zeiss
will release CPU lenses for Canon eventually or use the Leitax option for the
Nikon F mount.
Now with Doug's reference to the Leica forum, it seems they are in the decision
phase with 1 of 3 options (surprised they even have that many). I too have
been in the wings waiting to use my R lenses without the stop down metering
method. I know I could have been shooting digital all this time waiting around
by going this route, but I really would like to use the R lenses in one
seamless camera. One Leica forum member mentioned a digital SL, which if is
one of the choices and is chosen, I would be like a pig in a mud pool. Either
this, or come out with the DMR again with FF and long term product support.
Best of luck in your choice,
Gary E

Hello Everyone,
Bearing in mind the demise of the R system, and the recent
announcement of CZ primes (with licenced EOS, and now Nikon ROMs) for
the EOS and Nikon mounts leads me to ask this list a hypothetical
question: If you had to jump would you opt for Canon or Nikon?
FWIW, I am very close to selling off my R bodies and lenses,and no,
the third -party flange/adapter solutions for R lenses do not work for
me. I do not want to go back to the 1950's when Alpas, Exaktas and
Praktinas with stop down lenses were state-of-the-art SLRs.
Regards,
Akhil
