Well, if that were the case, I still would be able to use the lens on the Z-1 or SFX, although I'm trying to sell the latter. But I recall, if I'm not wrong, that the messages you quoted were about the Zenitar 16 mm. 2.8, not the Mir 47-K. As I have shot some slides without the filter, I'll take some with the filter in place and will examine the results carefully. The Russian member of the PDML I told you about uses the lens in an ME Super, without the filter, as it causes the same problem in that body, and he says the filter isn't needed for infinity focus. He even sent me an URL for me to see some of the photos he had taken with the lens, scanned with a 4000 dpi scanner.
