I prefer the split image finder in many instances, but it really depends on the lens and the speed of the lens. With slower lenses the finder sometimes blacks out. However, the finders with a microprism grid around them are especially useful.
The LX and the MX offer the option of changing focusing screens, so the screen can almost always be changed to better match the lens being used and the situation and subject. I'm looking for an M6. Please contact me off list with the details. Thanks!
