I really enjoy it. It is especially useful in vertical shots in that I think the camera can be held steadier. I only wish Tom would make one for the screwount cameras too. 8) BTW, as for the 25/4 skopar, I havent tried it yet....but I think I'll stick w/ my 25/3.5 canon screwmount. The canon is rangefinder coupled. I think the M3's viewfinder is the best for the 50mm & 90mm bye Bernard
