You shoot through either lens, lay the slides down side by side, you make comparisons. If you own both systems, it's a quite useful comparison when talking about lens performance. Why bother with the M lens, if the R lens is better and you don't have to worry about the other tradeoffs? Or visa versa. Or is your point you should own both so you have the best of both worlds? <g> ========================== Eric Welch Grants Pass Daily Courier
