<p>What I don't like so much is that new trend from Leica for chrome lenses.<br>

Silver anodized aluminum alloy barrel and ring instead of chrome on brass.<br>

The last three chrome lenses issued by Leica are like that: the 28/2,8 Asph, 28/2 Asph and this 35/1,4 Asph.</p>

The extension shoe was made to lift the finders for 20cm (200mm) and 40cm (400mm) when

the TXBOO/14024 extension tube was used with an M5.

The TXBOO/14024 extension tube, 62,5mm long, with accessory shoe, was designed to

replace the Visoflex I when using Telyt lenses directly on M cameras with these frame finders

(20cm and 40cm).<div></div>

Without.

I sold the other one.

Also because I prefer the tab than the focusing ring.

Keith,

For the moment, what you can do is make all the frames disappear with some tape on the

middle window and use the full viewfinder.

#2.

That was my choice anyway.

Peter,

What is strange is that the M8 0,68 finder only covers the 32mm field (24mmX1,33) and the

M6 0,72 covers the 28mm field.

It seams that the M8 frames are more precise than the film Ms and finders.

Peter,

I repeat:

It will be as correct as an old 28mm finder.

Put some tape on the frames' window (center window) to make all of them disappear and use

all the finder for the 21mm.

It will be as correct as an old 28mm finder.

The 28/2 on an M8 and a 35/2 on a M7 are covering (more or less) the same field if used at

the same distance.

Can you calculate both DOF ?

Rob,

He had a fight with Hove Books about unpayed royalties.

The 135/2,8 is the only Leica M 135mm which can be converted with 6-bit coding.
