The new 0.58x finder is billed by Leica as being the solution. They claim the 0.58x rangefinder is accurate enough to focus the Noctilux, the Summilux 75 and the Summicron 90. You can get correction lenses for the eyepiece but then you are blind until you can get your glasses back on. I would hold off until you can try all three cameras side by side. All three cameras are compromises from the ideal and only you can decide which is best for you. John Collier > From: "Peter Shier" <pshier@mindspring.com> > > I too am trying to decide this.
