There is significant aberration towards the edges of the field and this is not a brightline finder, but it seems pretty accurate, and at <$450 for lens and finder that can't be bad! I also note that adjustment of the recessed aperture ring is better done with two diametrically opposed fingers; using one tends to make the ring stiff, presumably because of binding. The front element seems recessed enough to make a lens hood redundant, by the way. Results later. Thomas
