I understand that the last version of the R was the same optically as the current M. My question is, has anyone ever shot the older Elmarit-R (series VII, 5 element I believe) and compared it side by side with the current (discontinued) version, wide open? How about close focus distance: is the older one also 0.7 meters? Also, are Series VII to E55 adapters available in brass (i.e. from either B+W or Heliopan)? Thanks in advance! _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
