Subsequently I bought a Voightlander Bessa-L finder from a guy who bought the lens but didn't feel he needed the finder (I figured I'd stick in on a second body when I get one). The Bessa is clearly brighter and offers a bigger view. It does distort more and it lacks the parralex line. I just arrived at what seemed like a fair price with the seller but I'd sure be curious to know what you would end up selling the finders alone for . . .
