New Leica 21mm finders are not going for $500?  I bought a new one last
December from Camera World of Oregon for $325 (and that was bad enough). 
Optically it is excellent.  Mechanically it leave a lot to be desired...
like strength.

You cannot see field around the frame lines.   They go all the way to
each edge.  But it is one of the brightest finders on the market.
