Concerning the eyecup, I have an R eye cup that I will try tonight. If the RA finder fits, I see no reason the eye cup wouldn't either as you have stated. Concerning the lens, the best test is to take pictures and that's what I intend to do this weekend. The lens appears to be a great condiition and the glass looks very clean. The large front lens element has a rather menacing look if you are used to the 60mm. One thing I noticed last night when I put the lens on the SL is that this camera is probably best used in daylight or normal lighting. Because of the screen used, it is hard to focus in low light situations, expecially if your eye sight is not the best. I have heard that Sherry can switch out the screen for the SL2 one which I believe uses the split image like the current R series. Overall, I love the pure mechanical simplicity of this set up. I have a feeling it is a joy to use. Cheers, Tom Don suggested << Regarding the eyecup, if it slides on the rails on either side of the eyepiece then it will fit. My right-angle finder works SL ->R so the eyecup should too. >> - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
