Aack!  I just took a look at this, and I have to say I'm a little
uncomfortable with having my musings described as "authoritative".  They
are nothing of the sort, and the quoted scribble is nothing just requoted
hearsay.  I even remember that someone responded to this post saying that
my description of the film rail configuration in Leicas is just plain
wrong.

I don't think this particular coffin is nailed shut yet, and I certainly
don't think my comment should be construed like that.  OTOH, I just don't
think it's a big issue.  Enough people have by now taken sharp pictures
with Hexars and Leica lenses to satisfy the practical among us that it's
not something to worry about.
