Keep in mind the cheapest CV lens has this coupling, and it is the 21/4 P Color Skopar M mount at $419 with lens elements...... Hard to justify a $3K up lift in cost because of RF coupling.

How about a 2 LBS T0.95? A 4/3 mount wouldn't require coupling to the rangefinder. I would assume that the M mount version is coupled.
