Further, From about 75mm down, yes. (Maybe a bit shorter). From 90mm and longer, an SLR can focus more accurately in most situations. >is the rear lens element (of an M lens) when mounted on an M6, closer to the >film plane than, let's say, an R8, and does this do anything for sharpness, >contrast, color saturation, overall picture quality, etc.? No. That used to be true, but with modern designs, it doesn't make that much difference. And some new R lenses prove that. ======= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch
