Are your guy talking about the R'35 with 40/2.8 lens but W/O a range
finder! I can't see how I can use a 40mm f2.8 lens for shooting
without a range finder, just a joke! To me W/O a range finder sharp
picture can only be made at heavy stop down or shooting at infinity.
But I can use my XA at F2.8 wide open shooting portrait at night and
that happen quite often.
