So a plastic M6 should also "bounce" more safely ? And what about a "bouncing" plastic Noctilux? ;-) That 21mm viewfinder is what I would expect from a low end taiwanese accessory maker. At 25 USD I would find it a handsome slightly overpriced backup device that I would not mind to "damage/lose" in awkward shooting conditions. At 300 USD, it is a scam. At that price level, it should be metal, with a reliable attachement device AND with rubber protection so that it could "bounce" in style. On the mythical M7, it should also relay metering info through the adequate hot shoe contacts so that you would not have to "bounce" constantly from viewfinder A to viewfinder B. Then, maybe, 300 USD might be justifiable..... Alan Brussels-Belgium. LEICAMAN56 wrote: > ....<CUT>...... > I switched over to the plastic finder > years ago and I'm glad I did.
