I was at Leica in Solms yesterday to watch a vintage car show held on their premises (and to try the new Summicron-M 35/2 ASPH, of course). As Iīm strictly an M Leica user (I use Nikon SLRs) and have only used a friendīs R7 on rare occasions, I was very pleasantly surprised when I tried a Leicaflex SL2 for the first time. I found the finder to be extremely bright, yet still easy to focus (far better than the bright screens in, say, a Nikon N90). Also the handling was great. The only thing that worries me is that some of the newer lenses do not have the cams necessary for the Leicaflex SL(2). Iīd have to find out if they can be retrofitted. Carsten
