For example, I believe the .72x M6 was designed to shoot slides when mounted with a 28mm lens for eye glass sufferers. I found out that while wearing glasses I could not see the entire 28mm frame line but ingeniously when my slides came back the slide mount covered up the part I could not see in the first place. No complaints from me regarding Leica R&D. Last month I bought a Hexar RF and what a piece of shit that is. By allowing me to see the entire 28mm frame I now need to process my slides unmounted. > >on 19/4/00 1:49 AM, Mike Quinn at mlquinn@san.rr.com wrote: > > >> Well, I was wondering, could the M6 > >> viewfinder be designed to flare if one is not looking through it dead > >> straight, so that focussing accuracy is improved?
