Of late I've been using a Leica 15mm on the R8 along side the
Voigtlander 15mm on the M6, a very interesting visual experience!
Which lens/camera do you think creates the greater visual pitty pats?


#1) A mental attitude thing:You can focus the M lens using  the scale or the
hyperfocal distance.  The R always looks in focus, and therefore you are
encouraged to play with it instead of concentrating on the image.

#2) A physical thing: Left eyed, right eyed, doesn't make any difference.
The external, mounted on top VF allows the schnoz to fit.  For those not
familiar with the term schnoz, that is the appendage directly between and
just lower than your eyes.

Frank......... right eyed, RF trained.
