Can you see the whole frame? I'm especially curious in this combo on an M3, but am interested in any comments with other M cameras too. Emanuel Lowi Montreal - - -->> I have tried that exact combination (the second thing I tried actually) and the corners are simply too dark to be used effectively. You do see the lines, the problem is what is BEHIND the lines. However, on a .72 body you can just about make it. Still a little annoying, but in a pinch it can help you focus that lens. A .85 body was about the same as the M3 to my eye. Not good. If your only use for the magnifier is to use with that lens, I would skip it. It is much better suited for other purposes. It is wonderful for a 90mm on a .85 body! bests, Rich photovillage.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
