This had totally escaped me. So I wonder about the new Zeiss M mount
lenses, which Zeiss claims are designed with digital in mind, but are
being released with the new ZI film rangefinder.
Cameraquest sells a OM-to-M adapter. With the (more retrofocus design
of the SLR lenses, would there be any performance issues on an RF? I'm
speaking of image quality only, not of operational considerations such
as RF coupling.
