40-45mm is typical for the smallest lens designs. Right at the normal length for film and well suited to very simple designs with excellent performance (Tessar et al). I'd love to see a 28mm Tessar, if it's doable (May not be due to register issues). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
