I also have no experience with Leica glass on a DSLR. Only on the M9 and with that experience in mind, I don't think I would spend extra money on Leica R glass... at least not for rather "normal" lenses like a Summicron 50.
Quote:The way to do it is to actually modify the lens to F-mount, but I am not sure that is a hastle you want to go through.
Yes, google for "Leitax" if you're really interested. However, as BC already mentions, a Canon body with adapter is definitely a lot less work.

If you prefer to use a Nikon body, it's a lot easier (and not necessarily more expensive) to search for used Zeiss ZF or ZF.2 lenses instead.
