Scott Kelby has switched from Nikon D4 to Canon D1 for his sports shooting, apparently the high ISO performance of the Canon is so good it was worth switching. Of course the fact that Canon lent him two bodies and a bunch of lenses probably didn't hurt!

Then the paparazzi follow you around wanting to take your photo, you get the best tables in restaurants, free meals, and the list goes on. No longer do you have to open your wallet, people just give you things. Never seem to find that 'problem' happens to me very often.

There is an inexpensive Nikkor lens to Canon body adaptor available that has a chip but doesn't auto focus etc. Don't know if there is a high end one that runs all the lens functions. The lenses do focus to infinity because Nikkor lenses require about 1mm more distance to focus than Canon.

I guess that everything seems astonishingly sharp if you have spent all that money on the Leica R lenses. I would also expect that the bank manager will be astonishingly sharp with you if you dont have enough money to cover the purchase!!!

The prices for Leica R lenses seem to be highly dependant on condition and original packaging, with a slightly scuffed 50mm going for $500 to $600 while an identical mint for $3500. Some people have have great lenses from older cameras packed away not realizing that there are lots of reasonably priced adaptors on ebay like Hasselblad to Nikon.

I have considered buying some Hasselblad CF lenses and a Nikon to Hasselblad adapter just to get fast flask sync speeds. However if I bought the lenses then the temptation to buy a digital back and body would be too much for me and I am sure I would soon have a complete digital Hasselblad setup. This is something that I might desire but dont need!

High flash sync speeds are only possible if someone makes an adaptor that will **** and release the shutter from the rear of the lens, as it is screw **** and pin release. Also these old lenses would need a pro cleaning and shutter calibration as most run slow.
