Notice that the new Zeiss super "Otus" 55mm is a "Distagon" (retrofocus
design).  What an irony.  I switched from SLR to rangefinder largely to get
away from the inferior retrofocus wide angles, and now I may be forced back
to them by the digital sensor's needs.  (I have no plans to buy that Otun
lens.)
