Dave,
I'll look it up and see, probably some time tomorrow, there were tests
on a series of wide-angle zooms, IIRR Canon,Tokina Tamron and Sigma.
Also a test on mid range zooms and Tele-zooms. More details later.
cheers

Douglass,
Did the German magazine do a comparison of the Tokina 12-24 against the Canon 10-22? Any comparisons you could share with us?

Dave,
in test in German magazines the Tokina knocked the competition into a cocked hat.

Hi Charles,
I have used the fotodiox adapter to and find it works just fine. Mine was
tight from the factory and I have not yet had to "tighten" up the mount like
David did. I am very pleased with my results using Leica R lenses on the
20D. I also bought a Tokina 12-24 f/4 zoom and find it very very good.
Others report it to be as good as the Canon 10-22 lens and I would believe
that to be true. Build quality is first rate and focus is very fast and
silent.
Good luck with your new Leicanon.

G'Mornin' Charles:
I'm regularly using the fotodiox adapter with the 400 & 2x combination...
works perfectly.
When I first got it (used) the lenses, when attached to the camera, were
very loose. Very disappointing. However, it turns out that the adjustment
is simple. The mount is made of a malleable steel, and so I pushed the
blade of a small flat-blade screwdriver into the kerfs cut in the mount.
That tightened up the mount considerably! But there was still a bit of
"wobble" to the mounted lens. A quick trip around the adapter, tightening
the 6 screws, with a small, Philips head screwdriver, did the job!
Unlike others, who have reported that their lenses have almost come off
the camera, I've had not further trouble. And the lock on the adapter is
very secure.
I have no doubt that the Novoflex adapter is better, but at triple the price, I wonder "how much better?".
As far as one, two or three cam vs. ROM, there is no difference. All three adapters (Gandy's, fotodiox and Novoflex) are 'dumb' adpaters and work with 'em all. Just use your Canon in Av (aperture priority) mode, and fire away!
Cheers!
David.

Hi Ted, and others,
Is there much difference between the adapter made by Novoflex (with
springs) and the one from CameraQuest?
I have some old 2 and 3 cam lens as well as some new ROM lens and them
my long 400/560 telyts. I need an adapter that will handle all of these
if that is possible.
Is Bob Palmeri here? Did you get the Novoflex?
I appreciate the help fellows. Charles Cason

Wow, that is pretty good for the ISO3200 setting on the 20d. Did you
use the same lens setup?<<<
Charles,
The ASA 3200 setting on the 20D is amazing. Don't even consider it
anything like 3200 film as it's so superior you'll find you'll have no
fear to almost shoot by starlight! ;-) Well OK not quite, ;-) but
there isn't any comparison regardless of what "film shooters only" may
think and say that it's not possible. They've not put the 3200 to a
true on the job shooting test. Most importantly.... they haven't
cleared their "film thinking" from their minds.
This is truly a ..... "got to do it, see it and then you'll believe it!"
I've done much of my 3200 shooting with the 10mm-22mm super-wide and the 80-200 Leica f4.0 zoom and it's results are quite amazing both in colour or B&W.
