you mean this? Of course it exists, I've lining up lenses for one for the last few weeks. When Cooters says they'll have one at the end of October it exists.

Until today, mere mortals such as I had not seen a picture of one. It does look tantalizing.

For the record, John, I know you like ultra-fast lenses. However, don't over look the 50mm f:2 Dual Range Summicron for color, resolution and all around great performance. I reckon there is room in your Domke for a Noctilux and a DR 'cron. Shucks, I would even let you give mine a test drive on your M8.

The present kit for an F4 bag with M8

Current f2 35mm Cron
Current f2 75mm Cron
ZM 21 28

and a Noctilux to be named later.

I have a lovely 50mm collasable f2 screw mount I want to try with an adapter There's also a monster 85 1.9 screw mount canon to try on the shelf from the old days.

Nice. You're set.

If you like the Canon 85/1.9, you will love the black 85/1.8.
