Though you can't get too close with it(about 3 ft with my M3). The lens and finder are both excellent. Lens is very sharp wide open at f/4. I like this finder better than the older 21mm(metal version) Leitz finder. And the finder is set more to the left so it won't get in the way of the LTM camera's shutter speeds.
