If I have both bodies, I will typically shoot mostly with the .72 and a Summilux 35 ASPH, with the .85 in the bag with a Summicron 50 or 90. Accuracy of focusing really isn't much of an issue for me (20/10 vision), but the 50 and 90 are just more comfortable to use with the higher mag finder. Downside to the .85 is that the rangefinder patch tends to flare just a little more than the .72 under strong backlight. To me, one of each is perfect. If you have to choose one or the other, get the .72. I like beign able to use the 28mm lens without a separate finder. - --Jim Laurel - -----Original Message----- From: Christian Payot [mailto:christian.payot@span.ch] Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 1999 1:31 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] HM or not ? May I ask a probably thousend times asked question in LUG ? Which magnification is the "best" (may be more comfortable) finder : HM (0.85x) or "normal" (0.72x) ? Especially with a Summicron 35 mm ? Here there anybody who replaced his 0.76x M6 with a 0.85x M6 ? Thanks. Christian Payot
