I think I'll try one more time. 50mm is 50mm regardless of the format, be it 135, 120 or bigger. The detail of the projected image is getting smaller as we go wider of focal length. A standard lens for D/DS/DL is 33mm. Imagine a 33mm lens being mounted on MX which has roughly the same viewfinder magnification, just with the edges being masked off to simulate the DSLR tunnel vision. It will be just as easy/difficult to manual focus as D/DS/DL (but of course, MX has better eyepiece to boot so it's not exactly fair). So if you must compared, use the same focal length, not standard lens for given format. Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
