Subject: [Leica] CV 15mm lens on M8
From: kididdoc at cox.net (Steve Barbour)

a question here , as my logic becomes  befuddled...


A 21mm lens on the M8 just about fills the M8 viewfinder...

a CV heliar 15mm lens on the M8 is really a 21mm lens, and can be used  
with a 21mm external viewfinder...

so... can one also use the M8 viewfinder, as the viewfinder for a CV  
15mm lens...?


Why is this so difficult?

(a yes or no answer is inadequate, without some logical explanation...  
please)


thanks, Steve
