Subject: [Leica] Focusing with aging eyes

I am finding more and more frequently that focusing the M6 at distances
beyond about 10 feet is getting to be difficult for me, given the image
size. With a 50 and a 35 this isn't much of an issue. With the 90 it is. I
have a 90 Summicron. Do any of you have an suggestions - other than to spend
$2000 on the .85 M6, which my wife would be happy to tell you is not an
option - to deal with this problem? I wear glasses, and use them when I
shoot. I assume that an external finder would at least make life easier in
terms of viewing the scene, but focusing...

Thanks
