Subject: Re: [Leica] Nose grease on eyepiece when using separate finder

It is a common problem, or at least, common for well endowed right eyed 
photographers. I have trained myself to tilt my head slightly forward 
when using a separate finder. This solves the problem for me but if you 
also have a protruding forehead, it may not work for you.
