THANKS! At least I know my memory is still intact. That is how I remember

Ashame they could not incorporate a RF into the body. I own an Olympus XA
with a 35mm F2.8 and it is smaller AND has a RF. Is there a reason Maitani
(the designer) was able to do this and Wasske was not? I mean, is the Sonnar
lens the reason? Too large?
