Mike, Doug,
One of only 2 Leitz / Leica things I bought new was a leather case for the
28/21mm finders, it was a sell off deal at 6GBP from Fieldgrass and Gale I
think. Sadly, since I repaired the broken plastic foot of the finder with a
stronger but taller aluminium one, it will no longer fit in the case and it
rests in the bottom of my camera bag.

And BTW, I think it's very brave of anyone to own up to owning a
'Rubbermaid', I know if I had one I'd die of embarrassment.
