Subject: [Leica] Leica Finders; Lens Shades

Hi LU's -

I'm interested in external Finders for M-systems. For 21mm
to 35mm lenses. Is there a reference to the various ones
available?

Reason: I saw reference to a "Lyre shape" finder. What's
that? I've seen squarish ones, and round ones that attach to
the "hot shoe". Finders seem to range in price from about
$100 to $500 (used). Metal, plastic? Can someone shed some
light on this topic?

Also, I have a 35mm/f1.4 Summilux (NOT Aspheric). I like the
metal lens shade that came with it. It's "echt Leitz". I
also have a 50mm/f2 Summicron and it came with a plastic
shade plus lens cap. It doesn't work as well. What are the
model numbers for the different lens shades for Leica
lenses? It would be splendid if there was a WEB Site with
this info on it. Thanks.
