Yes, I shoot the Hexar RF with my 75 'lux all the time, and it works fine at distances of >1.5 m, and/or stopped down past f2.8. I _do_ have a problem with the RF at close focusing distances wide open, however, but this is not due to the EBL (it occurs on all of my lenses, from 35-75) but rather the fact that the RF decouples for the final twist of my Leica lenses toward their nearest focal throws. I'm confidant that Konica can adjust the RF to correct for this problem, as I have heard from several others whose Hexar's don't have this problem. I'll be sending it off to them next week. The Hexar RF is a great camera, and speeds up street shooting considerably for me. I highly recommend it. Dan
