Those two aside, I am actually pretty darn happy with the current lens line up. I have the 24A, 35/1.4A, 50/2(3), 50/1, 90AA, late 135/2.8 and a 135/4.5/Viso for my macro. You know what would be handy is a parallax corrector along the lines of what Mamiya made for their TLR. Loose the eyes on the 90/4 and use a tripod. Once focused, flip the parallax lever and bingo what you saw is what you get. As it is, with the eyes on the 90, the background you see at 0.5m will not be what is recorded on the film. Oh god, what am I saying? This is the kind of thinking that generated this 90/4 goggled monster in the first place. Use an SLR or Viso for macro! Rangefinders have their pluses but macro will never be one of them.
