Why the heck didn't Leica make their 500mm reflex focus nearer than 4 =
metres?  I had no idea that this was the case until I just bought one =
and was disappointed to find it out.  I have an 'brand x" 500 mm reflex =
that I have used for several years which focusses to 2.5 metres and =
provides some "macro" coverage.  I can't see spending several hundred =
dollars more for less range of focus.  I'm sending it back!  Kent
