Hi Didier,

you might be right
For those who have one in spite of it all, these are real fun - and 
allow for R mount lenses (and others) to be kept in use and sometimes 
put at good use, while waiting for the R10, if ever.

I couldn't get to the 25 mm 1.4 link, but I'm sure to be willing one all 
the same, just for out of focus planes (but autofocus & stab please), 
plus a 9 or 10 mm before they stop production as predictable..

Yours
Phil...x
