As you say, if you want WYSIWYG, get an SLR and don't shoot your photos looking through a picture window with lines painted on it. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Frank Filippone Sent: Friday, February 11, 2005 10:56 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: RE: [Leica] Which 35mm 'cron or 'lux?

The comparison to an SLR lens is of course true from a size standpoint, but the obstructed VF issue is not there. Personally I always thought tht if you wanted a WYSIWYG VF, you should buy an SLR.
