[Leica] noct .95 ?

Wed Jul 19 14:48:32 PDT 2017

Dan,

I had two M with 0.85x (an M6 TTL and a MP), yes it is great and if you have the Leica focusing magnifier 1.25x you get a magnification bigger that the one with an M3, the full viewfinder window is dedicated to the the 50mm, it is great!

Cheers
LLuis
