agree with all of the below.  for my .85 classic it's very effective.  i 
find it does make the right side of frame lines quite dim, but i've 
never found it to be a real problem.  i never found i needed it with the
.72 m6 or the m3.  

he's got a lot of other useful stuff, most noticably the sling
and steer which are on all my cameras and long & wide (>=50mm) lenses.
