Doing it due to a lack of money is a dumb excuse.
Doing it to use Leica lenses on a Canon body, though, might be worthwhile, if you can spare a 5D2/5D3.
I wonder if he can he also make Canon and Leica lenses work on a D800?

It looks like he saved a considerable amount of money and got a significantly better camera for his uses. - James -

No amount of money spent on Leica bodies will let him do that. Apart from the Leica M. marekknowak wrote in post #15109594 He should have tried with an EOS-M camera, it would have been more usefull.

Not everything designed has to become a viable product, after all, how many 24-70mm lens patents did Canon file before it came out with the 24-70 II? Canon 5D3 | 17-40 | 50/1.4 | 135/2
