I borrowed Tom's 35 finder for a few moments last week. It is very very
nice. Plastic - but solid, bright as all get out. Beats the SBLOO hands down
:=) A little bulkier (squarer) than the SBLOO. No locking foot.


Unless Leica do something very special with their new finder for $500, this
is the finder of choice for those that need it. 


didn't see the 75 finder.

I just got in a boat load of Voightlander 25mm Skopars with finders and I 
have to comment that their finder is much nicer than the 24mm Leica finder. 
It is brighter and seemingly wider...and if it matches up to what the lens 
actually sees it is one of  the few "bargins" in the Leica world.

I'm curious, has anyone seen the finders for the 35 Ultron or 75 Heliar? (  
...Tom maybe?)

I am able to import these lenses, but I am considering getting more finders 
than lenses in these cases ...since they sell the finders seperately. I
think 
some would use these finders with their Leica lenses...

Any opinions? (Like I need to ask that! <g>) Give 'em too me...

later,
Rich
