Yea, me neither.
Although it does make FF wides useful again. The equivalent field of view of a
42mm f2 didn't interest me, but with the Metabones Speedbooster, the beloved OM
21/2 has the equivalent field of a 29mm Fool Frame lens... at f1.4!
Now if I can just get rid of that CA in the corners...
Still, Fool Frame wides are fun again.
