Thanks for passing on that information, Horst. My local repair guy had to
be seriously reprimanded when he tried to kit my M3 with XSA. However to
those of you who do want to get experimental i do recommend trying XSA in
your M's with Sharpo, especially if you can rack up a few UV Filters at the
end of your lenses.
