John,

Great minds think alike. :)  I have the same three lens combination (35/1.4,
50/2, 75/1.4) and from the same source (the venerable Dr. Yao), but
currently only two bodies (Hexar RF and .72x M6 TTL).  A third body is
inevitable, as I've discovered recently what a pita it is to change lenses.
What do you use with your 75?  I'd love to have a .85x M6 TTL modified so
that only a solid 75 frameline would show up in the finder.

Dan
