There is no reason in the world that this could possibly be true. No way. Anything (if you aren't concerned with sharpness, thus mirror shake isn't a problem) that your rangefinder lens can do, the SLR lenses can do, and they can do more, because they can open up for faster shutter speeds, and more depth of field control. So the fact is, that 50mm 2.8 lens is quite handicapped in comparison. Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Multitasking: Screwing up several things at once...
