Subject: [Leica] Question on relative VF brightness.... Canon/Nikon/R8/SL to Visoflex

I agree, the SL/SL2 comes First, then R8/9, then the S2, which may rival the 
R8/9 level if not a bit better.  All which makes me wonder why I am 
contemplating buying a Nikon FF DSLR as a backup for my R8DMR.

Canon/Nikon/R8/SL to Visoflex

I second that. I have never seen a viewfinder in any SLR, film or digital, 
as good as the SL/SL2. I also agree with R8 being in a close second place.

Cheers,
Nathan
