I could always focus it with the M3. Yes, the 1.25X will definitely help with a 0.72 finder. I found that the real trick is that you can not be sloppy. You have to find the eye or eye shine in the subject and focus on that. With other lenses you can get away with focusing on the eye glasses or the eyebrow or the nose. With the 75, you have to focus on the eye itself if you want to shoot at 1.4. If you master this, you will make some stunning images.

So I think its me, not the lens. I must admit that I am having difficulty using the 90mm in low light too. Can a magnifier help? both of my m6 has 0.72x magnification.
