Re: Re:RD1

Chris, I never say any of the prints or files from the 12mm or any other
lens. I asked to test it with my 50 or 35 Summis but he had already returned
it. I think the problem was vertical alignment of the RF patch. It is a reat
PITA that a $3000 hi-tech camera has little mechanical faults. Maybe they
have forgotten how to build mechanical cameras in Japan. I heard that the
Pentax K1000 was the last camera to be assembled by a human being!
