Hi John,

I wear glasses, and I have never understood what all the fuss is about. Perhaps
this is because I have worn them so long (since age 9, and I am now 39), I am so
used to them that I am not all bothered when I use my Leicas--even when I have my
35mm lens on the M6HM. Somebody wrote that he had a difficult time seeing the 50mm
frame on an M3. I find that hard to imagine (yes, I have an M3 which is more or
less dedicated to my Noctilux).
