I wish I could find one to look at. The finder is the key for me. My Rebel
XTi is piss poor, but it was a retirement gift from my wife and all I could
afford anyway, so I am making due, but not so well with manual focus Leica
lenses, even with focus confirmation. It is the metering that is so
undependable. If it is indeed close to R8, then it would work just fine for
me, but no one at any store I have access to has one. How does it do
metering when you change the f-stops? Does it give the correct exposure say
if you focus at f-2.8 then stop down to f-8? If I go to Seattle next
weekend I will have to see if Glaziers has one. Wish I had an adapter to
try, too. It will be a short visit, unfortunately (just a day trip) to check
up on my mom before we take off for Death Valley and all points south.
