Hi Richard,

I guess the short answer probably stems from my being a fairly longtime user
of Leica Ms. I tried the Contax G2, briefly, when it first came out and
didn't like the viewfinder at all. I use the HM Leicas and, by comparison,
the G2 made me feel as if I was peering through a tiny hole. Quite a bit
darker, too.

I did very much like the results, though, from the excellent glass available
for that camera.
