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. B.
