The one I have is in FL mount, used via a screw adaptor (with that focal length, who needs a rangefinder?) but it projects _way_ inside the camera - it came with an accessory finder; the idea was clearly that you used it mirror-up. This doesn't look like a retrofocus design to me, and I can't imagine Canon redesigning the thing to be *non*retrofocus specially for use on their SLRs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- jack@purr.demon.co.uk - Jack Campin, 2 Haddington Place, Edinburgh EH7 4AE
