Mamiya also has a 50 than has floating elements than everyone forgets to adjust . . . For me the old 'blad stuff is much cooler than the new stuff for the same reason I like 20 year old Leica glass: you can buy used lenses for less than thirty cents on the dollar. Look at eBay and compare the prices. I can live without the floating element just about as well as I have been living without a 28mm ASPH. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
