Okay, it's late here and I'm too tired to type right:

Erase "Perspective through viewfinder?" (http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=006KRv)

and for "Leica ViewFinder 1.25x Magnifier" (http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=006Vkf), paint the title black and erase its underlining. Don't touch that newly painted title line !!!

Time for a nap.

The rubber piece that protects eyeglasses is glued to the magnifier. I lost mine somewhere in Venice over the weekend. The truth is that on the way down in the train I looked down at my shirt and I saw a rubber o-ring. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I unscrewed the thing and put it in its little box. I considered what to do. Sometime later I thought I'd chance it, put it back on, and keep an eye on it. Later still, it was gone. Hmmm.

You'd expect better for an itty-bitty two element lens thingy that costs $200, would you not?

I'm sure I would.
