Subject: [Leica] Square viewfinders?
From: Joe Berenbaum <joe-b@dircon.co.uk>

I wonder if such a thing exists- I'd like an accessory viewfinder to use on
35mm bodies that gives the field of view for a 35mm or 50mm lens but with
the ends chopped off so that it shows a square frame, ie it would show what
I would get if I cropped the negative to make a square print. I can get it
almost right by just looking through a rectangular viewfinder and imagining
the square format, but it isn't easy and it isn't accurate. Does anyone
know of such a viewfinder?
