Henry,
Got my 24 Elmarit-M and finder just last week too; simply incredible =
lens!  My reaction after seeing the first couple of 11x14s come out of =
the fixer was:  WOW!!  Guess that says enough...enjoy your purchase and =
use it well.  BTW, after reading the many negative posts vis-=E0-vis the =
finder I was a little skeptical about buying one with the lens.  But, =
since I use the M6HM I figured the idea of using the outer viewfinder =
frame as some have suggested just wouldn't work well for me.  So...I =
went ahead and got the finder...I'm glad I did.  I find it very bright =
and actually fun to view scenes through it.

Best regards,
Alan Huntley

This last week I shot some film with my 24 on my M6 both with and =
without=20
the finder.=20

I am, again, very impressed with the lense. it may be the best wide =
angle=20
I ever seen. I am amazed at the flatness and lack of distortion. With a=20
little care I can photograph people up close without having their heads=20
or bodies take on strange shapes.  And its sharp as a tack. Its a great=20
lens.

As to the finder or no finder - I'll be using it with the finder=20
attached. I just don't get good framing without it.


Kodachrome:

I have not tried any Kodachrome for many years - too much trouble.
I shot one roll each of 25, 64, 200 and sent it off last Monday to The=20
New Lab in San Francisco. Got it back on Thursday. The film is =
beautiful.=20

The downsides are the cost and time factors - 4 days and about $20.00=20
shipping expenses plus processing fees. I can't see using the film for a =

job and only rarely for myself given this situation.=20

I can get E6 processed in 2 hours and only one block from my studio.=20

Is Kodak trying to kill Kodachrome?  Whats the deal?
