Then you could open your legs ! I admit to being an obsessive
perfectionist, I trained on prime lenses and because I had to allow time
to change a lens, I adopted a technique where I would use my eyes to
find the position and the lens was then chosen to give the field of view
and put on the camera. When I started using fast aperture zoom lenses, I
found that I was not using my feet and eyes, I would remain stationary
and zoom the lens, plus my composition suffered as the wide aperture SLR
image did not allow clear vision of the background. When I changed to
M6's I found that the brightline viewfinder instantly improved my
composition and I returned to my old method of feet and eyes and only
using the lens to choose field of view. I found I shot much less film
and that most of the time the image I wanted was the first one I would take.

I have a very good monitor for black & white and it sees all the tones
on test cards, but it is not very good at colour.
