Besides switching them will undoubtedly lead to dropping one and smashing it!. All you do with the 24 and the 21, is to know you're going to be wider than what you see in the 24 finder. After a few rolls you'll have the guesstimation of how much wider down pat! You'll be $300 to the good for film or a couple bottles of good single malt scotch! ;-) or both! Hell, who shoots so tight with any viewfinder on an M6 they expect to have the identical image recorded on the film! The closest you can get to that is using an SLR. ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
