Subject: [Leica] Re: Using the Elmarit-M 24 without aux finder

I have and use the 24 ASPH. I do not have an aux finder. It seems to work
well for me by squinting around the edges of the normal finder, when
necessary. But I've been using a 24 since 1976 (24R) and have pretty much
got its field of view imprinted in my head.
