Frank I would have to do the math to be certain, but I believe that you still get a better effective RF baseline with an LTM camera than with even an M3 with these klutzy add-ons. No miniature-format RF camera came close to having the extraordinary effective base-line of the Kodak Ektra. The CZJ Werra is another with an exceptional reach. A Contax II remains a grand instrument for the taking of pictures, albeit I shouldn't say that on a Leica List! Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
