Neal,
That is good to know; thanks. I started the 5D+R-Lenses with 100 Macro using the CameraQuest adapter because I don't want to mod either the mirror or the lens.

But will try the AF-Confirmation adapter in the near future.

And here is a JPEG I save that shows good info on the compatibility between Leica-R and the Canon bodies [I can't connect to the original page and I don't know the owner of this kind person who made the list...];
