> Here's an interesting gizmo for M telephoto users. Erwin Puts, in his
latest email newsletter, indicates that Leica has produced a 1.25x add-on
viewfinder magnifier for the M6, that he says works like a charm for to
increase the focus accuracy and subject visibility with 75, 90 and 135
lenses. It would make a .58 into a .72, the .72 finder becomes the
equivalent of the M3 (0.9x), and the .85 finder stretches to 1.06x! He gave
no indication of when it will be available, but it's probably worth a look
for long-lens users.  My dealer has a call in to Lisle-Kelco to see about
availability.
