Dave, #1 is supposed to be a know fact with the M6. It seems that in certain lighting the rangefinder spot disappears. #2 Are you talking about the 90/2 or 90/2.8 as the word 'skinny' is usually only used in reference to the 90/2.8. Maybe others can fill in which of the 90/2.8 Tele-Elmarit's fill your need. Dennis - -- Experience is a tough teacher. It gives the test before the lesson. - -unknown
