Subject: [Leica] help needed on viewfinders
From: "rolleiflex" <rolleiflex@earthlink.net>

hey luggers--the eye doctor tells me that my eyes can't take wearing contact
lenses any longer, so i have to go back to glasses. problem is that i shoot
with a 35mm lens exclusively, and with my glasses the framelines are nowhere
to be seen. i love my m2, but can't continue to use it if i can't compose
well.

are there any adaptors that will help? which of the later leica bodies have
the wider viewfinders that might work for my 35mm lens and glasses combo?

has anyone had luck with the .58 finder? i'd be willing to get a newer body
that had a wider finder even though my m2 is my absolute favorite. i simply
must be able to compose well, and i'm willing to sacrifice my love of the m2
for a newer more plasicky body if need be.

all advice welcome and appreciated,

scott
