It can't be that simple, Doug. The 21 VC does not protrude into the body
much more than the 35 Summicron. I carry them back to back in one of those
rings that allows you to fasten two lenses together.

Yet ... the 21 VC and digital is a lousy combination.

Must be more than just the distance between the rear element and the
sensor.
