I decided that I needed a digital now... who knows when the DM-R will
really be ready?
I looked at the Canons, (so that I could use my R glass) but find the
Canon viewfinders to be too dim for me.
So, I recently bought a Pentax *isDS 6mp reflex. I already had a bunch
of Pentax AF lenses and can also use all of my screw mount lenses going
back to the mid-60s in A and M mode... with focus confirmation
It will even take Nikkor lenses, (M mode) with an adapter that I have
from Adorama.
So far it's a pretty good camera, and used Pentax F and FA lenses are
going through the roof... I anticipate that the same thing will happen
when the DM-R arrives.
Slobodan, I've seen a notice that a Rollei 3.9 x 3.9 cm back is
available and can be used untethered. But that's like using a Baby
Rollei, not a 6008 so I think I'll wait on something like that for
awhile longer.

The 20D is basically a junker body. It's a stop gap camera, at best. It's for those who need something right now, but who are willing to wait for further product development.
I personally don't think that I will get a DM-R.
I'm on 'tactical' alert for a back for my Rollei, which is a more viable alternative for me.
The prices are coming down on higher and higher megabyte stand alone untethered backs.

Hi Slobodan!
I am wrestling with the decision to go for the full DM-R, or the (much) less expensive LeiCanon. There are, I think, merits to both.
I will be looking forward to a user report from you, when you get your DM-R.
Sadly, I am only at the thinking stage. I have just sold my house, and now expect to move at the end of April. I'll not be buying anything prior to that, so I will have the benefit of your wisdom before I make the final decision.
Cheers! ----------
