[Leica] Viewfinders and the 2.5mm

[jhnichols at bellsouth.net (Jim Nichols)]

Frank,
I would like to end this debate, and concede that the correction is small, 
but it does exist.  Yes, I agree that if I want to be sure I get close-up 
portraits, I use my SLR.  I will also admit that I have clipped the top of 
some heads using the Imarect on my IIIf, particularly if I use a lens longer 
than 50mm.  So, I think the solution is to use a little more care and leave 
some margin for eventual cropping.  After all, most of us run the image 
through PhotoShop before printing.  My own case may be compounded by the 
need for glasses, which makes it difficult to get the same view in the 
viewfinder that I got when I was young.
