Uh-oh. Certainly did not intend to do that...

I stand corrected.

*That* is a matter of opinion. Personally, I prefer settings that stay
where I put them.

My specific complaint was about the Yaschica T4 and many other P/S
cameras that work the same way. I incorrectly inferred from posts
here that the M'lux was similar. I'm glad it's not.

Tell that to Sam Abell. Seriously, the 28 is wide, but I think
everyone here is capable of deciding what focal length they wish
to use. Besides, she could crop heavily and still have a neg
bigger than APS ;-).
