Subject: [Leica] 75 mm finder
From: Ken Wilcox <wilcox@tir.com>

Several days ago someone inquired about the availability of a 75 mm finder
to use with the 75 Summilux on an M2 or M3. I (had) have the same problem.

Today while looking through my misc. drawer I found a 75 mm finder! It is a
black optical finder marked FUJI TELE FINDER 7.5cm. It is cylindrical,
about 32mm long and 25mm in diameter. There is no parallax correction. I
took it apart and cleaned it and compared its view to that of the 75 lines
in the M6. They are close to the same.

I don't recall what I paid for it but it couldn't have been very much (or I
would remember) The point is...finders are out there. Keep looking. I would
be nice, however, if Leica would make one!

Cheers!
