I would appreciate > your comments. Don't know about the dramatic part. Just figured that I could use all the focusing help(hey my 63 year old eyes have floaters and flashers and I don't know what is next) I could get and I was not intending to use a lens wider than the 35mm. I listened to the LUG chit chat resulting in me buying the .85. This is my first experience with LEICA. I looked through the viewfinder of the standard M6 in a couple Seattle stores and did not think I would have any trouble focussing but maybe the .85 is a little better. I don't know. <snip> > > Enjoy your new camera! Beautiful piece of machinery. Got to be careful loading that film though. One roll was not winding and hence the film was unexposed.
