Subject: [Leica] Viewfinder Testomonial

Last night was my first trial of my M6 0.58 at night.  I'm 62, and focusing
is not as easy as it used to be.    I enjoy  nighttime street photography,
and although I often use zone, and hyperfocal  focusing, there are many
times when I need to focus quickly on a  particular subject.  For that
reason, several years ago, I  purchased a  Nikon N90 for it's autofocus
features, to use in night time photography.

 I now truly appreciate the viewfinder, and method of focus of the Leica
"M".   I had always read of the brightness, clarity, and ease of focus
provided by  the viewfinder, however these features, although certainly
true, aren't really appreciated in  daylight.  Nighttime is "M" time!!!
