There is an article in the most recent edition of Leica Fotografie which suggests that it is not practical to focus longer focal lengths with the .58 viewfinder - being able to compare the .58 with the .72 have you found this difference noticable? I ask because I usually use wider focal lengths and have thought about getting a second M6ttl with .58 finder, but wouldn't if it makes focussing more difficult. cheers, Lucian G.
