I found it much heavier than I expected and the transition from a TTL view to a partially blocked viewfinder was a bit overwhelming. After a couple of weeks with the Summicron 50 I became more accustomed to the camera and then the transition to the Noctilux was much easier. I just got the Summicron 35/2 pre-asph from Don Chatterton yesterday and found that even that little lens with the shade will block some of the viewfinder but it doesn't really bother me anymore. I love this camera.

It is the price you pay for super high speed glass on a rangefinder camera. Personally, I do not find myself conscious of the problem when shooting. If I am bench testing lenses at the store I notice it but not in actual use. JBC > From: "Peter Shier" <pshier@mindspring.com> > > I am afraid of the same problem with its 60mm > filter size.
