I will say that the .58 camera does not include framelines for the 21, 24 or 135! The new finder is all about greater eye relief for myopic Leica users. Think of it as the high eyepoint M. As for the rumor from the anonymous Leica rep about the electronic DOF facility of the .58, either he's on drugs or had a very heavy liquid lunch. This is deliberate disinformation. The finder is the same mechanically as the other two TTL models. I have held the camera in my hands, played with it and studied it very carefully. But, what the hell, rumors are more fun anyway! Please resume conjecture mode. Bill Rosauer
