[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I?ve had both, a M6TTL .85x sold logntime ago, a MP 0.85x sold in 2014 and right now another MP 0,72x, I have to say that I prefer the 0,72x because it is better for use with the 28mm too, if you want a bigger focusing path purchase the magnifier 1.25x or 1.40x, however IMHO no one is better than the fantastic old M3 viewfinder for the 50mm.
