WYTYSIWYMGIYL? what you think you see is what you might get if you're lucky? FWIW, I've never been able to accurately determine DOF on a stopped-down 35mm SLR screen. And I'm too easily fooled into thinking that what I see is how it's going to appear on film. At least with an M I'm under no such illusions (as far as DOF is concerned, anyway).
