Is the issue that of the rear element of the lens touching the mirror, or is it a matter of the mirror striking the rear element when the shutter is released? If the latter is the case, then what about the Canon bodies with pellicle mirrors like the Canon RT and 1N RS? One should be able to measure the distance from the mount to the mirror and then compare it to the protuberance of the rear element to see if the issue is the element touching the mirror or the moving mirror touching the lens. Has anyone looked at this? Does the Canon pellicle mirror in fact not move at all when the shutter is released? Gary - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
