After using both a .72 and a .85 for a while, I'm of the conclusion that the two finders are too close in magnification to be clearly differentiated. I'm very intrigued by the idea of using a .58 for the 28/35/50 set (kinda sounds like a perfect Tri-Elmar body, doesn't it?) and a .85 for the 50/75/90/135 set.
