Re: M6 - Inversion attachment

[Kryv0man@aol.com]

I use the inversion attachment because it allows me to see the image just as
if it were on the back of a large format camera -- inverted and reversed.
 This is helpful to me in composition.  It's like carrying around a large
format camera on top of an M6.  It's the same concept as Leica uses for the
21mm lens.  The 21mm supplementary viewer sits on the hot shoe as well.  I
saw a photo of Henri Cartier-Bresson with one of these on his old Leica.  I
inquired with an antique Leica dealer in Washington DC and he had one in his
collection.  It has a dial on top where you dial in the focal length of the
lens.  When you view through it, it looks like what you might see through the
viewfinder of a Nikon -- except the image is all masked in black, and , of
course, the image is inverted and reversed.  HCB, like me, said that it
helped him focus on the geomerty of the image.
