It's a shame that this pancake lens doesn't seem to offer that. Of course the Hologon was so slim they couldn't fit a focusing tab onto that! Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Gaifana@aol.com [SMTP:Gaifana@aol.com] Pancake lenses are fun on SLRs. But I can't see them being much more fun on RFs, in part because conventional-barrel lenses are so small (take a look at a Canon or a Leica 35mm RF lens - tiny). They don't leave a lot to grab onto.
