I don't know what your opinion is on the matter, but I think the
Viewfinder Magnifier M 1.25x is exactly that, the big bulky viewing
attachment that use to be found on the 135/2.8.  The advantage to the
Viewfinder Magnifier M 1.25x is that it will assist you with ANY lens,
depending on the camera you own.  I own the .58 M6 so it would help out
on everything, including the 28mm.  For the .85 it is a different
story:)
