Welcome John,
and congratualtions on your long career as a photographer lined up with
a personal taste for photography after so many years.
You're a man of experience from what I read.
Digital; never try! you might not come back to film - my experience and
others' here and there. Well, you ll see by yourself.
Canon to R adaptors? plenty on the famous bay, some with focus
confirmation, others not - better with as the Rebel has such a tiny /
dim VF.
Well again, happy you joined.
Any pointer/link to a site where you have photographs posted?
Bien amicalement
Philippe (du Bérêt de la Baguette dot France)

Fellow R Shooters:
Just a little note to introduce myself. My name is John, I have lived in Philadelphia all of my life. I work for the philadelphia police dept as a photographer supervisor. We do prisoner processing, some of the public event stuff and we handle the still photography for graduations and promotions. We are responsible for developing all of the film that police shoot during investigations, that is whats left of it. On the job we use Nikon digital and film cameras and every once in a while a medium or large fromat.
Personally I shoot everything from 35mm to 8x10. I do most of my work in 35mm with Leica M and R cameras. I have been at this hobby/profession for about 40 years. rvrn though I love M cameras for their simplicity . I find myself more attracted to the R cameras there is jsut something about looking through an incredible peice of glass and composing on the ground glass. I have done over 600 weddings, a lot of portraits. still lifes, and scenics. But, what I enjoy the most is going to carnivals and public events. Just taking photos of people having fun.
I am finally ready to give digital a try,( personally i dont think it will last, LOL) I am thinking of getting one of the new Canon Rebel XSi nad an adapter and using it with sof this Lieca glass I already own. are there more than one kind or brand of adapter out there.
Thanks
John
