It also has a wonderful following among the knowledgeable. If the lens is truly a 2 element design, part of te successful imaging quality of the lens is due to the limited air to air spacing.. Each lens to air space acts as a parial mirror, causing loss of contrast and reducing imaging accuracy. The succes to some extent, is due to its very simple design. Back to basics.. you want a good lens, use a simple design. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
