That's part of the reason it's focal length changes, according to the press release Leica put out when they introduced this lens. It shortens its focal length as you focus closer, to keep image quality high. At least, that's what Leica said. But that's beside the point, I've used this lens, and it's also great at infinity. It's one of the things that makes it so special. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch I get enough exercise just pushing my luck.
