I was wondering. Why is not possible to make
a f1.0 lens for the R camera, or is it? Has it anything
to do with the greater distance between the back of the
lens and the shutter? Or would it just be to expensive.
Probably a combination of both.

My second favourite lens is the 9cm. It is a perfect lens
for snap-shots in the street. I would very much
like this lens to be a f1.0 to. I noticed the most wide
apertures are only available for lenses around the 5cm. Is this
for the same reason? (costs)
