[Leica] How to get an M8 for $3200... Now defective 21 Elmarit

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Thanks Gene. That's what I've been doing. I don't have coded lenses, so it 
doesn't much matter to me. Even if it did have framelines, I've found my M8 
frame lines to be amazingly inaccurate...

Thanks again for the clarification,
Bob

Bob,

I just used the entire finder for the view of the 21, seems to be pretty 
close.
