Personally, I like the 135 on my M more than on my SLR's, R or otherwise. In fact, I sold my 135 SLR lenses because I very rarely used them. When I need that range and I want to use an SLR I use an 80-200 zoom - and I generally end up more nearer to 180 or 200. On my M6 0.85 the 135 lines are not too bad - smaller than the others, yes, but quite usable. But then my eyes are still very good, and I really like seeing what is around the frame lines - something the SLR cannot do. Now I just wish I could afford the 135 APO! I'll probably try that magnifier attachment thingy someday too. - - marc - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
