OK, so you are all saying that if I get ZF I won't be able to focus it then the lens is stopped down? Pardon my ignorance, but why? I used OM Zuiko on 5D before and AFAIR I could turn the aperture ring to F 5.6/8 and than focus. Is ZF somehow different?
Yes, you can focus at any aperture with the lens manually stopped down. The point is for precise focusing, most people do it wide open, then manually stop down to the shooting aperture.
The two main drawbacks using the ZF on Canon are loss of electronics/exif and the need to use manual aperture, making it the same as any fully Alt lens with no electronic connection to the body (Nikon AIS, Contax/Zeiss, Leica R, etc).
If you are intent on maintaining two systems, Nikon and Canon, ZF is the "best" way, next best is Nikon AIS. As you know, you can't go the other way.

Jim -- wouldn't the Leitax have to screw into the mount, making interchanging onto Nikon body impossible without unscrewing the Leitax? Or do they have have simple adapter like Fotodiox?
