A new Summicron 50mm focusses down to 70 cm and to my understanding it does so on all Ms. The good old DR goes down to 48 cm which is still quite a difference. Anyway, in comparison with an average 50mm for a SLR you are just in the same club in terms of close focus cappability if you have a DR on your M. best regards Stefan - -- Stefan Kahlert Wissenschaftliche Abteilung der Medizinischen Poliklinik der Universitaet Bonn uzs13b@uni-bonn.de
