It is, however, rather well constructed, considering it is plastic. I was afraid that it would be as cheap and ugly as the plastic lens hoods. This has got me thinking, in conjunction with some of the other posts on Leica's future. One thing that Leica must attend to is efficiency in their production. If this little bitty finder costs $275 (and if a cap for the 35 mm hood costs $25, and the little wagon wheel costs $18 ......) and Leica is still losing money, they must much some amazing inefficiencies in their company.
