jc_braconi Posted February 18, 2008 Share #2 Posted February 18, 2008 The answer is in the question sir... remember that you can use, as I do, a 1.25x lens on the viewfinder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasw_ Posted February 18, 2008 Share #3 Posted February 18, 2008 The M3's .91x VF is great for this if you have one handy. Besides the 1.25x magnifier that Leica makes, there is the Megaperl's 1.35x M-magnifier which does the same thing, just as well, for about half the cost. You don't get the leather magnifier holding case, however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_n Posted February 18, 2008 Share #4 Posted February 18, 2008 I am just wondering that what magnification to use Noctilux for optimum focus .72 0r.85.Abhinava Without question, the 0.85x. I bought my 0.85x to work with lenses >=50mm and it is perfect for my Noctilux, 75/2, 90/2, and 135/4. I also have the 1.25x VF magnifier and when I screw that on I have an effective magnification of 1.06. No excuses for me... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerimager Posted February 18, 2008 Share #5 Posted February 18, 2008 the higher he magnification the better! At least for these eyes. I use a 1.35 on both my .72 M7 and .65 M8. Wouldn't be without it for critical focus. The M7 becomes a 1.0 view...great! Interestingly, the epson RD-1 (the first d-RF) has a 1.0 view to start with, with 28, 50, and 75 frame lines only. The reduced magnified views are needed to see wider angle frame lines, of course. best...Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
