What is more important in photography than getting it in focus -at least when that's what you want to happen? <<<<<<<<<<< With my limited understanding of finder magnifications, I think -- and I may well be wrong about this and welcome corrections -- that some lenses, such as the 75 and the 90 f/2, are at or near the limits of what can theoretically be focused accurately with the Konica's .6 finder magnification. I believe a 50 f/1.4 should work fine. But theory and actual heat-of-the-moment use can be two different things. Which is why I'd want to try the Konica before deciding its true usefulness with lenses I'd want to attach to it. Truthfully, if the Konica turns out to be what I think it will be and if finances allow, I can envision the Konica with the 24 mm M lens and an M6 HM used with 50 mm and 90 mm lenses being the ideal rangefinder set for my needs.
