If I remember right - it was nearly impossible to use the top-finder at waist level. The finder-size was smaller then a 35mm slide and with more than 10cm away you don't see anything?! I now own a 2.8GX as my 6*6 camera and this finder is something completly different. You don't shot at a target but compose the image "on the screen". Impossible with the small version and should be the same problem with the F3-finder. Detlef <LEICA IMAGES> http://www.hermes.de/chile/ </LEICA IMAGES>
