> Regarding 21mm finders, I've seen a couple of dealers selling an
inexpensive japanese Avenar (sp?) 21mm finder.  It's under $100.  The Contax
G viewfinder is much pricier - local dealers didn't have them in the price
book, so I ordered one directly from Contax (Yashica) USA in New Jersey.
Expensive - $245 plus shipping.
