[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I currently have an M3 and like it very much. Today I decided I might also look into an SLR camera. Not having a Leica dealer close by so I could look at an R8, which would be my choice, I looked at some Nikon and Canon cameras -- and was totally disappointed in the viewfinders. I am very nearsighted. These viewfinders could be corrected so I could see through them clearly with my glasses on, but I found them very hard to use -- hard to focus, and things look very small compared to the M3 viewfinder. I am wondering if some of you could tell me if this might also be true of the R8 - is it's viewfinder somewhat the same as the ones mentioned above. If so, I think I would be disappointed in it as well. I would appreciate your comments. Thanks, Ted in Olalla - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
