No, if I don't say mistake, the lens is fixed ... and an electronic viewfinder is on the perfect opposite side of our wonderfull M !

Alain

Welcome to the club!

IMHO it's not really the problem, except if you're obliged to use very powerfull glasses.

The problem (mines) begins with the 35: you can't see the whole frame lines, you're obliged to move the eye to see them ... and my pictures are always larger than I saw (but every time I think it's really a wider angle lens = economies are rare with Leica gears!)

Alain

Excuse me; I hope the picture will pass:

Alain

'Cron 90 Apo Asph wide open? Yeah!

Alain

IMHO if you use from 28mm to 90mm, the best combo would be 0,58 and 0,85, principally if your 90 is a 'Cron: wide open at closed distances with a 0,85 and a 'Cron 90 Apo Asph ... I must recognize some shots out of focus ... but not all (here, 1/50 with f:2,0 and a narrow DOF!)

Alain

Excuse me, my English is so bad!

Michel, demandez vous avant tout quelle optique vous voulez en 1°: seul le 0,72 est "universel", mais forcément imparfait pour un 90 ou 135. Ce serait le moins mauvais choix si vous envisagez, comme moi, d'aller de 35 à 90mm ... mais le 90 à courtes distances nécessite volontiers un viseur 0,85 pour une MAP aisée (et encore!). C'était L'objectif que je voulais absolument d'où mon choix de viseur HM. Il est parfaitement exact que je suis gené avec le 35, d'autant que je porte des lunettes en permanence; du coup, je vise un peu au "feelin g", "à la louche" ... et ce sacré 35 me semble encore plus large qu'il n'est!

Michel, all precedent answers are perfect ... but I permanently wear glasses and choosed a 0,85 because I did want the 90 Apo Asph and with it, it's very helpful. I also use 50 and 35 Asph; yes with the 35 I'm obliged to look for the frame lines, to move the eye ... but it's "possible".

With your name, may be you speak French? Would be more easy for me ;-)

Alain

Come in Burgondy, I'll give you some help and advices :-))

Alain

Just by hazard, my colleagues working a day I was walking along with my M and 'Cron 35 Asph.

Alain

Winner of a computer game; 'Cron90 Apo Asph, 1/50 f:2,0 Fuji 200 Iso

Alain

Don't worry Kamol, I guess there is here worst English than yours ... ;-)

Alain

I also thought the 90 Apo Asph was a bit too sharp for closed portraits; some kind guys on the Leica forum gave me advice to use Fuji 400 NPH permitting softer pictures. Seems to be better with it, or I accept the lens particularities.

Alain

I would have answered 2x1/3 = 66% ... am I wrong?

Alain

Yes, and imagine with a RF camera, you have no idea of the DOF.

I was fermely decided to stop shooting wide open under 3 or 5 meters (I realized my daughter's portraiture with just only one eye perfectly in focus !)... but for the precedent picture, I had no choose, 1/50 with F:2,0. Who never try ....

But it's a very fine lens, just difficult.

Alain

Cameron,

all depends also on your own eyes accuracy: with some age ... and glasses, I'm very happy to have choosen a 0,85 VF to use my 'Cron 90 Apo Asph. With this combo I still have some pictures not perfectly focussed at close distances and wide opened.

Alain

Many thanks John, I haven't read enough your precedent post.

Alain

John Collier please,

you still know it, my English understanding is very unperfect ... I try to join a Paris picture shot with my M6-TTL and 35; on the left side, is it a bounce shutter problem? I sent my M body just after the end of the warranty. Everything is now right but Leicas never told me the origin of this problem. What's exactly "bounce shutter"?

Many thanks and best regards

Alain

Ruine For Retired Fellows, no?

Alain

Child jumping.

M6-ttl with 'Cron 50 and SF20<div></div>

Michael, it's just "air conditionned" ... and a nice picture.

Alain

Sorry for the size!

Alain

sorry, with digital camera
