Perhaps it could offer 21/24/28/35 and then 50/75/90/135 settings? Canon seemed to have sorted this back in the 50s with their VT model, switchable fields for 35, 50 and 135 (or was it 100?). Of course their magnification was 1:1 on the 50mm setting in the Canon 7 to, if you like big finders it's available already on the s/h market... Looking forward to meeting all of you at Koln, I've managed to find accomodation 5 mins walk away from the Messe Hall so I can spend plenty of time there! I'll arrive on Friday (midday-ish) and leave Sunday afternoon. I'll attach a 'LUG' sign to my badge, so you'll know to avoid me or say 'hello', depending on your preference... regards, Jem ---------- From: 'leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us' Sent: 22 August 1998 07:50 To: KIMEJ44; 'leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us' Subject: Re: [Leica] M7 speculation On Fri, 21 Aug 1998, Ken Wilcox wrote: > Higher magnification? Switchable magnification? Hmmm... Switchable magnification, finally a feature that wouldn't be a step backwards into the world of let the computer decide for me... I wonder if that would deteriorate the quality of the finder... leave taht to the engineers -- Michael Garmisa <elmar@webreach.com>
