The Voigt double shoe adapter will offset the finder slightly to the left but not enough to center it over the lens on an LTM or M camera. I'm surprised Mr. Kobayashi didn't catch this one. :-) I often use a Nikon Varifocal finder with my IIIf and C*nt*x IIa and with the former must remember to compensate (a touch up and to the right after framing) with wider lenses. With my 85 and 135mm lenses it doesn't seem to be an issue. - -Dave-
