This is true of all Prewar and Postwar Zeiss auxiliar multiple finders. The Russian clone of this, however, is 'flipped' so that it will match the Leica design. These come from the KMZ plant outside of Moscow, include 28/35/50/85/135 focal lengths, and are relatively inexpensive. They are also excellent optically and, surprisingly for something Russian, mechanically. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
