It certainly added something to what I produced, but sure, not everyone's experience will be the same. With winders, grips and softies being made as M accessories, I just wondered if anyone knew if there was somewhere I could get an accessory that suited my needs. Anyway, perhaps your photographs were too good to be improved on, so that's not a fair claim:-) Matt. - ---------- >From: Buzz Hausner <Buzz@marianmanor.org> >To: "'leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us'" <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> >Subject: [Leica] Rubber eye-cup?
