Question: What about using one of the new "Voigtlander"Cosina 25mm finders,
which are said to be very bright, well constructed, made of metal, and a
good deal less expensive than the L finder?

Perfect. Exactly the way I see it and do it. The 21/24 M aux finder is a
total piece of junk. I have a 24 finder for my 24 ASPH. I won't use it. It
is the worst designed POC I have ever burned $300 for. I want my money back.
