That doesn't mean to say that every shot's in focus :-) In my personal experience focussing problems are commonly caused either by trying to shoot moving objects at f1 (difficult, very difficult!) or subjects where there is no obvious area of contrast to help get the rangefinder to 'snap' into focus. I'm not sure how much a higher magnification viewfinder would help in those situations.

Ted? Tina? Anyone? An M3 or .85 M6/M7/MP would be perfect, but how about a .72? I don't wear glass and have 20/20 vision. Lately I have been doing a lot of shooting at extremely low light levels and I'm starting to think it's time to get a lens faster than f2 (I'm Summicron across the board 35/50/90). I've seen a few used Noctilux going for the price of a new Summilux, so it's in the running. So, does anyone shoot this puppy with a .72 or perhaps a .72 with the magnifier?
