B.D., since 0.72 x 1.25 = 0.9, and an M3's magnification is 0.91, the magnifier should make things appear just about like an M3. So if you like the 90mm view on an M3, I suspect you'll like it with the magnifier. The of course, we could revive the old debate about whether an SLR or an RF is best for 85-105mm lenses... (he said wickedly) :-) My answer is, in bright light it's probably a wash, maybe a slight edge to the SLR for framing and focusing. But in dim light, you probably want to use the lower-vibration RF, so you get whatever help you can. I'm intrigued with the magnifier--better that than having to buy a second high-mag body just for one lens. Now, what are the chances that the magnifier eventually shows up under the Cosina/Voigtlander name--with a eyepiece fitting for the Bessa R and maybe the SLR bodies it was derived from--and at a lower price? - --Peter Klein Seattle, WA - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
