Well, I think you need three bodies. I have the 21, the tri, the Nocti, the
90 and the 135, and have three bodies for them (2 x 0.85 nonttl, and 1 x
0.72 nonttl)

I'd replace the 50 Elmar F2.8 with the 75mm F1.4, and not bother with the
135mm. And probably put the tri-elmar in there instead.

And on those lenses, I'd have 2 x 0.72 and 1 x 0.85. I think... or maybe you
need 2x of the 0.72 and the 0.85

:-)

Subject: [Leica] Which Viewfinder?


I planned to build up my Leica M outfit within 3 years. I decided to buy a
Black M6 TTL, but I still can't make the decision of the viewfinder
magnification (.58, .72 or .85). So asking for your help.

I think I will buy the following lenses within 3 years:
21mm f/2.8 Elmarit ASPH
35mm f/1.4 Summilux ASPH
50mm f/1 Noctilux
50mm f/2.8 Elmar
90mm f/2 APO summicron ASPH
135mm f/3.4 APO Telyt

According to my lenses selection, which viewfinder will you recommend?

Thanks
