The dealer only had an .85x M6 to try it out on and I found on at least that camera that the 50mm frame lines were too difficult to see, worse even than the problem with seeing the 35mm frames in the .85 M6 without the eyepeice magnifier in place. But worse than that, for me anyways, is that I tend to rest the upper part of the rear of the camera body against my forehead as a means to keep the camera steady when I shoot, but the eyepiece seems to make that impossible, sticking in my eye when I tried shooting normally. It did have a certain cute elegance about it and it appeared to be optically first rate, but at $375 CDN list, it should. When I suggested to the salesman that at $150 I might consider it, he reminded me that even for $150, the eyepeice would still stick in my eye. dan c. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
