Shade Leica goodies!

Hi

I have a question about Shade from http://www.leicagoodies.com/shade.html.
Any experience with this black little thingy?

Thank you

I would be interested in other's comments, too.

I had one on my M7 for a while, a few years ago. It didn't make enough difference to warrant hanging on to it.

Regards,

Bill

I'm using one right now on my M6 classic and it just works. The framelines are a little dimmer and the viewfinder patch flares alot less. (almost never)

You get the same effect when you stick a piece of small black tape on the middle window with about the same size and shape as the patch. But that doesn't look all too elegant.

Just use a piece of rolled up tape to tape a small piece of white paper onto the illuminator window and you get the same effect
