Canon EF lens & Leica CL body

[aallenhr]

I am sure someone already asked this but I can not find any info.
I have Canon 5d and some nice EF lens (and Leica CL with nice lens as well).
Is there a way (adapter exists?) to use Canon EF lens on M mount body like Leica CL?
Thanks!

I seem to remember a magazine article (...back in the day...) by Bill Pierce about adapting lenses to a CL. Bill?

Well I guess it is way too complicated and not practical. Since EF lens have only focusing ring, it wouldn't be very useful even if you could mount the lens.
:bang:

You would have to shoot at the max aperture of the lens - no aperture ring, electronically controlled - and guess the distance focus.

Canon's consumer-level lenses aren't known for being the sharpest tools in the camera bag.

This is in addition to the technical issues that already have been mentioned: No ability to control the aperture manually, being the primary one.
