[rollei_list] Re: OT / prove it !

No Austin, I think Leica and Canon are the only two. Nikon cannot as
the mount is too small to accomodate anything larger than a 1.4 (Bob
knows this better than I). Minolta mever made a 1.0 due to lack of
market demands. But I guess if I said there "are" 50mm F1 Lenses for
SLRs, you could interpret that as Canon making more than just one 50mm
F1.0L. :-)
