Subject: [Leica] Voigtlander Viewfinder 28mm an Parallax error?
From: luisripoll at telefonica.net (Luis Ripoll)

Hi John,

I'll never renounce to a M, maybe I should do what you say: practice. But
for me was a little bit surprinsingly because I've never had problems with
the 21mm, and I ask me, why with the 28?, the only reason I fin is that my
28mm Viewfinder is not from Leica, is from Voigtlander,

Thank you
Luis

If you want precise framing then either sell your M camera or practice,
practice, practice.
