BELIEVE ME, THERE IS NO COMPARISON!!! I too wear bifocals, wish I didn't, wish I were 30 years younger, but there it is. I find the M6 viewfinder superior to the Nikon F4s, while the Rollei SL35 is not as bright (as the Nikon F4s). The M6 is always sharper than the Nikon, however that isn't unusual when comparing a rangefinder and an autofocus. My vision is corrected (now) to 20/15 ... six months ago I was legally blind (cataracts). Wonderful what modern plastic lens inserts will do! The F4s is more useful (for me) for sports and action photography. The M6 is much better with more static material. Much of this is a result of my ability, or lack thereof, to focus quickly and probably the position of the upper and lower portions of the bifocal. Glenn Glenn Thrall gthrall@ix.netcom.com
