Yes...?

If you're asking whether you can use them on an EOS camera, the short answer is no. You can get adapters for the Leica R range though.

If I were to become quite wealthy, I'd probably buy the M8 and a host of Leica lenses. Until then, though, they remain a pipe dream. Sure, I'd love a compact digital rangefinder for discreet people shooting. I'd also like to do it for less than $17,900. ($5500 for the body, $3600 for the 35 f/1.4, $3000 for the 50 f/1.4, $2800 for the 75 f/2, $3000 for the 90 f/2).

Patrick:

To get answers on this matter:

http://forum.manualfocus.org/

http://forum.mflenses.com/

And yes, I posted some links - there isn't much info on this site about converting lenses for EOS use compared to those sites. Which is really to be expected - we use a lot of Canon lenses.

Permanent ban

You cannot use Leica-M lenses on a Canon EOS camera.

The back focus is incorrect. You can use Leica-R lenses with a simple adapter.

No. It's the flange to film distance that's different. You won't be able to use them.

How about remove the mirror and use live view, might need a recessed adapter, I recommend the 1DsMkIII so you can spend the most.

It's the flange to film/sensor distance. This cannot be "remedied by Canon", unless you ask them to build you a new rangefinder camera.

So it's not "surely".

Have the back focus remedied by Canon, they're able to calibrate such things surely.
