Would not Leica rangefinders be more effective (and popular) if they have a "variable" magnification so that the frame area for 90 and 135 lens appeared larger in the viewfinder (thus making focusing more accurate and over all overall use easier) So instead of buying a .85 or .72, the magnification could be user adjustable or "simply" change when the lens is applied. I know my F4's have variable diopter control... how hard can it be to apply this to the magnification issue. ...or is this simply one of the benefits of SLR? Has this been discussed before, if so what were the conclusions. cheers, Greg Locke St. John's, Newfoundland locke@picturedesk.org PICTUREDESK INTERNATIONAL ...news pictures ONLINE 1-800-340-4970 / http://www.picturedesk.org - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
