So even on the 0.58 body I used the auxiliary finder, which by the way, is exceptionally clear and bright, more so than the built-in finder. So, I guess that the ultimate solution is to get _both_ the body and the finder :-) Gilbert On Wednesday, August 28, 2002, at 10:41 AM, Wesson, Leo W wrote: > Just got a 28 from Don Chatterton (highly recommend Don, great service, > great price) which I am using on a Classic M6.
