Hey, was it like this in the 30's during the great RF war between Contax and Leica fans? Interestingly, the position seems to have been reversed. Separate VF/RF may not be for everyone, but it seems Leica III's ultimately triumphed (although Capa preferred the Contax). Personally, I think the T is a much more interesting alternative to the L - it certainly has a much more interesting feature set - but would I fish out $500 for a new camera? Probably not. Now, if Cosina comes out with a Canon clone with combined VF with variable magnification, that will be a killer! Anyway, thanks Stephen and Tom for the info. Is Cosina coming out with a variable finder, or should I be hoarding the old TEWE ones? Johnson Cheung ===== Johnson Cheung __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
