Robert -
It took me a long uncomfortable time to adjust to the Leica M - I have always used plain-
matte groundglass in the Nikon/Hasselblad/Rollei. Now that I'm older, I'm grateful for the 
rangefinder, and have recently had to replace all my ground glass with split-image 
screens. Now I'm having a hard time adjusting to the split-image. It's always something....
