Subject: Re: [Leica] Separate non-wideangle viewfinders

The only accessory I kept when I sold my father's IIIc many years ago
was the separate 5cm (so marked) viewfinder.  On the pre-M Leicas this
gave a much larger view than the squinty built-in viewfinder, and on any
M after the M3 I believe it is still the only way to get full,
life-size, both-eyes-open viewing.  If you can pre-focus, it is probably
the fastest way to take 50mm shots.
