I'll bet it looks even better with the Snapshot-Skopar in place. I am currently using the "Heliar-M" on my M6 and like it a lot but I don't like removing the finder when changing lenses, and if I leave it in place, I keep looking through the wrong finder! - -- Jeff Segawa Somewhere in Boulder, Colorado
