I'm fortunate to have 20/10 vision, uncorrected, at age 39 (hope it lasts!). While I normally use the .85x body with the 90 APO Summicron ASPH, I am able to focus it accurately with the .72x body. I also use the 90mm Elmarit-M on a Leica CL and can focus it accurately, even with that camera's small RF base length. - --Jim - -----Original Message----- From: Roger L.

The literature on the leica-camera site really highlights the 0.85x viewfinders but also makes (what is for me) a confusing statement about about using the lens with a M6 TTL HM and M6 TTL in preference to the M6 classic. Anyway, my real interest is the successful use at full aperature of the 90mm Summicron with a M6 classic. Regards, Roger
