They don't always work in very low-light, but the feature has been really helpful and well-worth the extra cost. The Eg-S focus screen (for faster lenses) seems to help, too. "...very upset about no Leica solution" -- Mark, that does not even begin to describe how I also feel about Leica. Abandoned. Jilted. Snubbed. Betrayed. For me these days, all that seems left of Leica, besides a lot of dearly acquired lenses, is a lot of dear people on the LUG!
