This is an old battle your fighting I'm sorry to say. New lenses are meant, thought of, designed and produced to fit the bodies of the time (read the thread on the issues with earlier Oly lenses on D Olies of the day for enlightment). Not just some sort of trying to rescue good lenses that were meant for other purposes in other times, with other media. And Hassie is also FF, but a different FF, so what End of thread ? Wagner is on, on the radio - Tanhauser overture, hence my rant - no harm intended for sure, at all ;-) Wish you a nice weekend phx Mark Rabiner wrote: >>And the weakness remains in the photographer.
