One is more or less permanently attached to the 35/2 Asph and the other is my 24/25 and 28 camera. The 24/25 lenses can be used without the finders on this model. Even with glasses you can estimate the coverage quite well. Just use the edges of the viewfinder as a guide and figure out that if you can see it, it's on the neg! The 0,58 really shines with the 35 though. It works very well with the 25/4 Snapshot Skopar too. Loaded up 0,58 #2 today with TX and 28/2,8 Ricoh and it is a remarkably small and compact package. I am awaiting my 28/1,9 Voigtlander Asph later this month or early March. I have tried it before and I like it better than the 28/2, mainly due to the less intruding hood and the better ergonomics of the barrel. I tried the pre-production version at Photokina and according to Voigtlander it has been reconfigured for even higher performance in the latest version. I think it is officially due for release around March 15. Tom A
