Better Viewfinder? This is the first I've heard that it may have more accurate focusing? It doesn't. Accuracy of the rangefinder is based on the baseline of the viewfinder, and as far as I know, they are all the same in the M line. The CL and CLE are shorter, which is why they don't work as well with the Noctilux. The M3 does have a higher magnification in the viewfinder, because it doesn't have to accomodate lenses wider than 35 without some optical trick. But I doubt it makes a difference in focusing accuracy. =================== Eric Welch Grants Pass (OR) Daily Courier NPPA Region 11 JIB chair Zen master to hotdog vendor: "Make me One with everything"
