Actually, Chuck, it's the standard lenses with large exit pupils and/or rear
element protection lugs which are most cramped. The 50/1.2 and 50/1.4 do
not fit, at all. The 50/2 just about scrapes in (literally). The 28/3.5
and 18/3.5 have no problem, nor the shift lenses, but I suspect the f/2
wideangles would be a problem.

Perhaps it's just the wide angle (retrofocus) designs that are cramped for
space.
