Brighter is better if it doesn't also reduce focusing accuracy, which is what happens with many SLR "bright" screens. The R8 does not have that problem. I have used split image rangefinder screens in my Leica R4s, R4s', R4sP and R7. They work fine for me, but obviously not as accurate as the M6, which is why I just bought an M6 with 35mm 1.4 Aspheric rather than an R8 and 35mm 1.4 Summilux R, even though the aspheric is only slightly better. ============= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO Seek the wisdom of the ages, but look at the world through the eyes of a child.
