Does anybody know if the focus confirmation chipped adapters work with a 
Rebel XTi (400D I think?)  My wife just bought me a Rebel XTi for my 
retirement(33 years)/Birthday(57 years) present.  She knew I had been 
playing around with some Canon cameras because of the ability to adapt Leica 
glass.  I even bought an adaptor a few years ago to play with the school's 
old Rebel and to play in camear stores when they would let me.  Well, I am 
finding the XTi able to take nice photos in the two days I have had it, but 
I can't focus worth beans with my Leica glass.

So, do I invest in a focus confirmantion adapter or do I just muddle through 
and get a few canon lenses until I see what Leica is up to?  Or do I just 
scrap the whole bundle because I will never be able to afford the Leica R10?

Ok, I am really only after the answer to the original question of does the 
XTi allow focus confirmation with the chipped adapter.
