I need your help. Maybe you have the same problem… I have a Leica M4-2 and as I wear glasses I have two problems with the viewfinder. The first one is, that I can haaaardly see the 35mm frame lines at once, but actually I gave up with that matter and finally see it as it is. Not cool, but well…
But, about the second thing… I’d like to hear how you do it. See the fabric tape on the viewfinder? It’s there because otherwise I’d scratch my glasses. But it isn’t sticky enough so it moves all the time which is really annoying.
Do you have other suggestions for this? I thought about glueing a small rubber ring onto it, but they’re not really flat. So my view would be even worse considering the 35mm frame lines. I’ve also heard about some Leica eyepiece, but if I’m not mistaken it has an additional optical element in it. Some sort of dioptrin adjustment thing (which I don’t want).
God… did all the Bressons back then had no glasses?
This is on a christmas market in my hometown. I really like the mood on small markets like these.
These guys represent ancient night-watchman. They were also singing songs out of that time. The older I get the more I appreciate that people do stuff like that. I don’t want to become a member, though… ; )
On the way back home…

It’s hilarious. Even after I stopped to play the music loops and loops.. ; D
Sometimes I wonder if dogs have some sort of diplomatic skills to force us to give them more food or something. I bet he’s conscious about his eyes and all that poor little doggy dog stuff. Got you, buddy.
Testing things out again. This time a 28/2.8 m42 lens on my Leica with a m39/m42/Leica M adapter. Now this only has to work and I have to find a used 28mm external viewfinder. Anyone?
: )
For me this is the funniest picture I’ve taken so far. Gorgeous. : )
