The 40's just an update of the M 40/2.8 anyways. And longer lenses are easier to get to cover 35mm anyways, there's no reason to worry about coverage on a 70mm, even a pancake, unlike on a 21 where you need to consider coverage as part of the design even on a larger lens than the 21 Limited. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
