For Normal and 75/90 or 135 lenses this is still an option..... For the record, does anyone know the maximum angle of the rays that can be acceptable? From that and the body mount to FP distance we can pretty easily figure out which lenses would be OK....... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net There are large technical problems with the conversion. Leica lenses, especially the wide ones, are designed so the rear element is very close to the film plane. As a result many rays strike the film plane at very shallow angles. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
