Not likely to see this sort of resolution in any normal situation, let alone print, though! Still I've read nothing but positive reviews on this lens. Don't know that I would be keen to take a file to it for frame-line reasons, however. An external finder seems a little more civilised solution. What should it be on the M8, very close to the FoV of a 35 on an M6? Hasn't Tom A got this lens and an M8? I'm sure that he can fill us in.

That seems incredible, considering that there are only 1000 micrometers in a millimeter. Does that mean it can resolve an object the size of a red blood cell?
