Sounds like it is a good deal. So, if you had no Canon lenses, you
would
just leave this adaptor on the EOS camera and you can swap R lenses
easliy,
unlike what we hear about the Novoflex version?
Sounds like a winner. All I need is a digital EOS....

As best I can tell it is. That's why I am trtying to tell people
it's
a good deal from Fotodiox. I bought mine from them and it was
shipped
very quickly.

It appears from the photos of this adapter on the

adapter that Gandy sells at 175 USD, correct?

Dave,
It fits exceptionally well and focuses at infinity (something I was
concerned about as I've had problems with other adapters not doing
so,
but those were old adapters for other mount cameras). The adapter
locks into place solidly on the EOS body and the R lens locks
solidly
into place in the adapter, no looseness whatsoever on either end.
The
lens release for releasing the R lens from the adapter is simple
and
positive and very easy to get to (something I have heard can be a
problem with the Novoflex adapter, but I have no first hand
experience
with the Novoflex adapter).

Douglas,
I'm not sure why they don't show them on their web site yet, but
they
do have them. Try emailing them that question. I got mine off
of
their eBay "Buy It Now" auction. I think they keep a running
"Buy It
Now" going for the adapter. Try this URL:

Just been to http://www.Fotodiox.com - no mention of Leica to
EOS at
all,
lots
of M39 to just about everything, M42 to all sorts and Nikon to
EOS.
Are they hiding it from us Europeans?
Douglas
BTW
Very happy with the Novoflex Leica-R/EOS adapter I picked up at
Photokina
along
with a few other bits and pieces, about 20% off RRP and a
voucher
for 10%
off my
next Novoflex purchases - that makes me like the company very
much
indeed.

Why pay $175 plus shipping from Camera Quest for a Leica R to

adapter when you can get the Leica R to EOS adapter for $89
plus
shipping as a "Buy It Now" item from Fotodiox on eBay or
simply
order
direct from http://www.Fotodiox.com and bypass eBay?
