Hi Gene,

For what it's worth, I have been using an M-mount 21 mm. Super  
Angulon for ? 30 years. The viewfinder is also a dream .......... put  
it to your eye, with or without glasses, and it's all there. Stop the  
lens down to ?8 and all can be sharp between 3 feet and infinity. The  
new Elmarit must be something more!

Landscapes, reportage, group portraits .......... and if you don't  
know him, have a look at Jean  Loup-Sief's work!

For me, the M-mount lenses are from as wide as it can, 12mm to 50 or  
75mm max. ............ and thereafter SLR lenses. I have a 135mm M- 
mount, but only carry it when weight begins to be a problem with  
SLRs .......... I cannot frame clearly/prpoperly.
