Olympus has made a 21/2 since the '80s. Just don't ask me what digital
body will take it.
Agreed on the general problem of digital & short lenses. Now where's that
10-20 megapixel 36x24 CCD that has 90+ deg. angle of acceptance, is housed
in a 35mm spool, can be loaded into most-any 35mm camera, has great storage
& battery life and costs less than $1,000??? Oops, dreaming again....
