El 27/03/2008, a las 13:05, Steve Barbour escribi?: 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 "I never wanted to be famous" http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/186890 _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
