I made up my mind to get one, but so far I just cannot find it anywhere. Also can you give me the name/address of the source of your M-grip? Again, the best grip I've ever seen. - --- Frank Filippone <red735i@earthlink.net> wrote: > Carl... the "average" Leica M lens is about 1-2 > inches long, and the film > plane is 28.8 mm (1 inch) back.. so the difference > is about 2-3 inches...... > In terms of what you are trying to measure, what is > the difference in > application?
