m6ttl .72 and the 35mm lux

[nikon_junkie]

I've had a serious GAS attack!

I was shopping for an M2 but figured with a future CLA I was better with the M6ttl. Selling off some backup Nikon gear (and more to be sold) I grabbed a 35 lux and a M6ttl for $1100 and $1200 respectively.

I was holding out for a .85 viewfinder but couldn't pass on the value of a ttl at that price.

How does the m6ttl work with a 35 lux on a .72 viewfinder vs the .85

More space around the framelines in the VF with the 0.72 mag = better rangefinder experience with a 35mm lens. 🙂

Agreed. The 0.72 finder is a natural fit with a 35mm lens, the 0.85 is better with a 50.

ick, I have a hard enough time seeing the 35mm lines with the 72, the 85 is impossible

If you wear spectacles/glasses, the .85 for 35 will be a bit difficult, not impossible, but difficult. Just use the entire viewfinder as an estimate in quick situations.

The .72 works very well for 35mm.

the 35 mm frame. I tend to have crooked horizons as a result. I plan on securing another M body (.72) and using the .85 w/ a longer focal length i.e., 75mm.

I have a 35 on a .85. Its usable, but not ideal, but for the price I am paying I'm not going to complain!
