This is with an SLR, right? You may be the perfect candidate for the 
rangefinder. One of the reasons I bought my M camera was that I discovered I 
was having increasing trouble focusing. Surprisingly, I was having a heck of 
a time with wideangles -- I know, wideangles are supposed to be easy to focus 
- -- There is nothing worse than a 24mm picture shot at 2.8 from about three 
feet away that is out of focus. I find the rangefinder really helps my 
deteriorating eyes.
