And interestingly, this may be the reason I didn't replace my F3 (which had become unreliable) with an FM2n, and got started on Leica instead. I liked the original FM better (it also taught me you don't always need an exposure meter, once I went without batteries for a couple of months), but I like the current M6 arrangement even better than that! > I've purchased and installed M6 rubber eyepieces on all my M's. Interesting, that's what I lack on my M4-2, but it doesn't look like it's an easy job to fit it, how is it done? By the way, I've at long last gotten the M4-2 back in a condition where it seems usable, as it's now possible to take sharp photos with it. (See the first entry at: <http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Olympus/1568/pix.html>.) But the rangefinder still doesn't agree 100% with my M6, so I'm not quite comfortable with it after all. Too bad, otherwise it would have been exactly what I wanted. - -- Urban Fredriksson griffon@canit.se http://www.canit.se/%7Egriffon/
