Why not?>> Sonny Carter replied: <<Because of the extension of those lenses behind the mount. ??>> Sonny, That can't be the case because the last glass element of both lenses is well in front of the mount. At least on my 50 mm Elmars and Summicrons. It must be some other arcane reason. Larry Z - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
