Dave,
I tried it with the D20, because everybody has been praising the Canon/Leica
combination. We also tried it with the 24 mm lens, where it worked flawlessly.
I didn't get the name of the lens converter but I suppose there is just one?

Tim which Canon DSLR did you try this with? The Canon 20D has a smaller
mirror than most of the other Canon DSLRs and will allow more lens options
although I do not know about the Leica 15-35 Vario specifically.
