Click here to read a fun article about what some of us have been talking about. Old manual-focus lenses are great!

I love my Leica Sumilux-R 80mm f/1.4 on my Canons.

Here's two of my newborn (a few weeks ago) with that lens on my 5D:

Pretty easy, there are hundreds of adaptors out there.

I really like adaptors from this company, but there are dozens of others, and they all have stores on eBay.

Scroll down, then check the various pages till you get your lens in question.

Only a few don't work - unfortunately the legendary Sumilux-R 35mm doesn't work.
