Subject: Re: [Leica] 21 mm viewfinder - crazy !

   Just a thought.  I tried my viewfinder for a Hasselblad 903SWC on the M6
hot shoe mount.  It fits, but does not extend in quite far enough for the
locking mechanism to catch into place.  If you have one of these, it may be
worth trying, but it's too expensive compared to other alternatives to use
just with the 21mm.
   The angle of view may not be exactly the same, and the viewfinder shows
a square format (with the extended inner square being about the required
dimensions), but at least with the built-in spirit level camera alignment
can be set to overcome those wide angle converging verticals.
If someone tries this, give a shout back to see how it works.
