<< In the preliminary review of the RD-1

<< http://www.dpreview.com/news/0403/04031101epsonrd1.asp >>

there is a statement that the camera cannot be used with the 50 mm Elmar 3.5 
or the 50 mm f2.0 DR Summicron (along with a few other lenses).

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.
