(I'm assuming there are no 19mm VF around: closest I've heard of it the Russian 20mm, but at these extremes, even that should translate into [I'm guessing] 5-7 degrees of coverage). IF you bolted a 19mm R on the front of an M, and IF you did find a VF with an appropriate field-of-view, would you be able to see past the lens!? If I recall the illustration in Bower's book on reflex Leicas, it's pretty gargantuan. M. - -- Martin Howard, Grad.
