I'm surprised 8 hrs later and not one of you Leica peeps stated the most important thing against a zoom VF. Not only would it take 10X the parts (slight exaggeration) but it would be DARKer... Don't you like how bright your VF is now...cuz it wouldn't be if they made it a zoom... - -- John Straus Chicago, IL http://SlideOne.com ==================== - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
