Grin...so if you aren't going out for Photo ops, carry a Contax.  Maybe it was funnier the
first time I read it.

Speak for yourself John....(who said that?  Pocahantas?)  or was it don't say that till
you have seen through another mans eyeglasses?   I wear glasses and can see almost all of
the 28mm frame in my M6.  On a good day I can see one side frame line, the top and the
bottom and the small space outside same and right up to the edge of where the other side
is without changing eye position.
