Julian - At wide apertures the HM will help with focusing... But I think you
will find even more helpful having frame lines and a bit of finder beyond
them - which lets you see what is not in your photo, as well as what it....

I thought about that - I even took the body out for 20mins with the 35 on. I
found the fact that I didn't have to bother about frame lines - just filling
the viewfinder - a lot easier. Won't the focusing be more accurate with the
0.85 or is the doff of the 35mm such that it will be a waste? Has anyone
else found the 0.85 a pain with a 35mm lens?
