Funny? The second accessory shoe is a good idea (from Leica, 1930, btw), but
otherwise they just copied another Voigtlander concept, the Bessa L, which,
together with the Voigtlander 15mm Heliar lens, costs less than the Zeiss
15mm finder only. I own a Bessa L/15mm and it's so light and compact that I
don't see any reason to prefer the heavy and overpriced Zeiss SW with it's
very bulky and even more expensive ZM 15mm 2.8, especially since that lens
does not perform better than the Heliar except offering 1.33 stop more speed.
