Eric, Sorry, I could have described minolta-spec a little better. When the SL2= was introduced, Leitz also introduced 3 Minolta lenses in Leica-R mount: the 16mm fisheye, 24mm Elmarit and an 80(or so) - 200 (or so) zoom. Thes= e lenses protrude further into the mirror box than previous R-lenses and so= require the re-pivoted mirror. (the 500 reflex, as I recall, is also a Minolta lens in Leica disguise). - -Doug At 11:57 AM 4/18/98 -0400, you wrote: >and a re-pivoted mirror which permits lenses with Minolta-spec backfocus= to >be used.
