But how is it on the .72 with the 90 mm? Does it magnify the image
enough so that you can really see what you're doing?

Got mine today (an unexpected gift). I didn't think I wanted one, but
it'll definitely see some use with the 90mm and the Nocti. With it
screwed on a .72 you can just see and use the 35mm lines if you don't
wear specs (not sure why you'd use a .72+1.25 with a 35mm, but you can).

Screwed to a .85 it's great for the 75mm and the 90mm, and the 50mm if
you don't wear specs, but I suspect spec wearers might find the 50 line
a bit elusive.
