Even in this small size, your test shot appears to be very sharp. I was always very fond of that lens. I gave mine to a friend when she bought a Spotmatic. The best chance for an M42 digital would be if Zeiss decided to expand their M42 lens line. But it's still a longshot by any measure. Paul On Feb 19, 2007, at 6:07 PM, J. C. O'Connell wrote:
