[Leica] Best Solution for M10 Viewfinder Maginfication

[Sonny Carter]

I found the best solution to all this is to give up on m cameras.   I hated to, but the time came that getting focus was taking too much away from the pleasure of photography.  What’s more, the insult of the so called visoflex solution left over from cheap Olympus point and shoots to get live view, added to the reason I changed.  For thirty years I was faithful, but my head got turned.   There’s still art in working with a fine auto focus lens.
