yes thanks Doug, I'd like to do that conversion on my R19mm v.II but that
trimming which is required, I've been reluctant to do it...
but the adapter is available...
on the R21-35mm ROM it's unclear what the problem is, whether mirror clearance
or other is uncertain, but there is a photo of one on a Fuji camera, and it may
be done as a custom conversion...I am looking into it, now pending...
thanks Doug,
Steve
