Having been on the LUG for 1 year, doing an intense study of Leica M, I 
finally bought a black M6 last month from Don Chatterton (an interesting 
character!). Also, a 75 F1.4 from Woodmere Camera, & a 135 tele-Elmar from 
Cal`s Camera in costa mesa. Erwin Puts`s essays had everything to do with my 
choices. I shoot children`s baseball mostly. A question; I have seen 
occaisonal adds for a Visoflex with a pelicle mirror. Has anyone used this, & 
can you say how bright the screen is (I know about Brightscreen Inc.) & how 
much light is lost & how is the light divided? It would be a way to have a 
nearly silent release on a reflex camera.Also, perhaps a faster way of 
metering with my M 6.  Thanks everyone!!
