James, because the frame and image size would be too small and inaccurate in
the lower magnification (.68) M8 finder. It can be done, you just need to
estimate the size, remember parallax error, but you can guesstimate with the
rangefinder patch as a guide. Its fun to play with. Of course you can fit a
Visoflex with a 135 with removable mount too.
