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.

Hi Aram!
Be warned... the E3 body is about triple the price of the XTi body,
so if budget is a concern....
I will test, tomorrow, how well the exposure holds, when manual
lenses are stopped down. So far, I've really only tried the Telyt,
and I always shoot wide open. From what I've heard, the Canon
stop-down problem has to do with the electronics they use, and it was
simpler to compensate electronically, so they did. I have not heard
of the Oly's having this problem, but, as I say, I will test tomorrow.
Cheers!
