You called, Frank? <g>

>From Boz's site - it focuses down to 0,6 m - that's almost two feet for
those metrically challenged :-) And that's exactly what I don't like about
it (from reading about it on the internet). I always wondered why my
brother's Nikkor 50/1.8 focused down only to 0,6 m. I really love the
ability to shoot detail with a Pentax 50 mm - focusing down to 0,45 m.

Still, I'd like to own one for some time, if only just to be able to see the
40 mm focal lenght throught the viewfinder - so far my only experience with
a 40 mm lens has been with fixed lens rangefinders. Yes, I know - it's in
the photos, but still, I'd rerally like to be able to look throught the
viewfinder and see exactly what the lens sees_before_ realising the shutter.
