I love the look of my Pentax lenses too, but short of doing some Canon lens 
mount butchery they really aren't being taken full advantage of due to Pentax's 
poor offerings. The new Canon 5D seems to have a good following on the Leica 
forums too, it seems that it's not so difficult to mount Leica R glass on them. 
I'd bet Canon will sell more 5Ds to Leica people than Leica will sell digital R 
bodies.
