With the Hexar RF, an external 24mm finder is not an absolute necessity.  If
you look beyond the 28mm frame lines, the view is very very close to the
coverage of a 24mm lens.  This is because the Hexar RF has a low
magnification 0.6x finder.  I understand Leica will be introducing a similar
(0.58x) finder at Photokina.
