I've used the Noct. with an aux. finder, but, in truth, I didn't find it altogether useful in the circumstances that I most frequently use the Noct.: very low light, wide open, critical focus. I use the Noctilux exclusively on my M3. For my part, I *need* the high mag finder to use the lens effectively. I'll freely admit that this reflects a crochet on my part. I don't get as high a percentage of 'hits' when I mount it on the M4-P.<br> <br> This from a guy who wears *tri-focals*!<br> <br> Chandos<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> At 03:40 PM 5/17/2000 -0700, you wrote:<br> <br> <br> <blockquote type=cite cite>Walter Bell wrote:<br> > <br> > I am seriously considering making the leap to a Noctilux. for the low<br> > light, shallow depth of field shadow rendition capabilities.
