But that itty bitty square in the viewfinder of the M camera, representing what the 135 sees, is just too small for me. It sure is nice to "see it all" on the GG screen of a wonderful R camera. I'm about to sell my 90 Elmarit-M because the 90mm frame line is too small. My M use is going to have to be at the 50mm - 21mm range. Maybe a 75/1.4 someday... I envy you folks that can photograph through a knothole. :-) Jim At 04:44 PM 11/8/98 -0500, you wrote: >Erwin Puts, > >First & foremost, another great report on a superlative >lens.
