[Leica] I can't believe how many shots I've missed with my R9

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram Langhans)]

Hmm.  R9 is like R8, and the viewfinder is quite nice in mine.  I have not 
shot a picture with it in about two years, but It was always nice and bright 
and had no trouble focusing it with my 60+ year eyes.  You might check the 
diopter dial by the eyepiece and see if it is adjusted for your eyes.  Maybe 
that is the problem.
