With all the recent talk of "starter" reflex cameras, I got to wondering which Leica
R's had sufficient eye relief for an eyeglass wearer to see the entire frame.  I used
to have a Nikon 8008 (no problem), N90s (no problem), FM2n (awful).  With the FM2n I
always had to roam my eye around the finder to see the readouts along the edges.  Plus
the godawful racket the camera made every time I released the shutter.  Sounds like a
big stapler.  I'll grant the simple and reliable, part however.  And the 1/250 sync
speed is handy, too.
