As a result, the .58 is my favourite finder. I find I can use a 75 with it very successfully; the 90 is a bit more problematic though still quite usable. I found I got used to the lower magnification quite quickly - as soon as I started thinking about my subject matter and not the viewfinder, all the problems went away. One of the things I like most about the .58 is the uncluttered view when I'm using a 35. The absence of the 135mm frame is quite refreshing, and I really like the size of the35mm frame in relation to the total view. Your eyes will continue to age (as mine have) and you'll wear your glasses more and more. I used to wear contacts and now have gone entirely over to my glasses. As a result, I'm wedded to my .58. If you have the 1.25 magnifier you could get the .58 and give it a try. I'm not a fan of the thing (had one and sold it) but it might make a good difference when using the 90. I found I didn;t need it, but then the 90 ranks well down on my list of preferred lenses. Paul - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
