Thanks, I've got the 2-13 and like it a lot. Two things I've noticed compared
to the 1-13 though: 1. I find the depth of field appears greater than it really
is, especially with the 85/2; also the bokeh shown on the screen is much
different than the final result; 2. Probably related to the above, I find it
difficult to achieve critical focus using the matte area alone. ie: If I focus
using the matte, then check it with the microprism, it is usually slightly off.
As a result, I use the prism much more than with the 1-13.
Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just my eyes? (I wear glasses for
distance, but not when shooting.)
