Sheldon, by the way, when i wrote FX, I meant MX.

Except Leica, everything is verboten hier. Luckily, no one takes much notice
of this.

Leicas come with different viewfinders. They all have advantages and
disadvantages.  The Email from Martin Howard explains it well.

He goes for an M2, probably because of the 35mm. I prefer the M3
viewfinder.
my favorite focal lengths are 50 or 90mm.
