I can believe that zoom magnifiers can't be made brightly, but given 45 years of optical advances, can't a 3-step variable magnifier be made just as bright as a regular one? The same optical engineering minds that gave use the Tri-Elmar should be able to give us a variable magnifier. But then again, I'm cynical and believe that this is just Leica's way of getting collectors to buy more cameras... Karen - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
