Even though this is literally true, I don't think that would make the difference. The R focusing accuracy isn't that much better in this range. I find my 75 Summilux easy to focus, as long as I'm a bit careful. But with my 90 Summicron R, it's the same thing. Though after more than 10 years follow focusing basketball, I don't have much problem with that lens. (My black and white basketball picture on my web page was taken with a 90 Summicron wide open in a very dark gym.) ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch HEADLINE: Red Tape Holds Up New Bridge
