At the closest focus, all but the upper left corner of the rangefinder patch is blocked. I suspect that this, and the fact that the rangefinder magnification and base length are reliable only to about f/4 on a 90mm lens, are behind the recommendation against the 90/2. Anybody have an idea as to the 135/4, other than that the rangefinder isn't likely to be up to the task (and the lack of frame lines)? Cheers, Kip Babington
