============================Jim,
This is certainly one of the problems of the rangefinder, most ably
demonstated when canon released their epic 50mm lens, the f0.95 'Dream'. That
neccesitated a finder, trouble was, Canon had designed the Canon 7 camera
without an accesory shoe to take one! They then had to manufacture a strange
brace like device to hold this seperate finder. A real case of bodge
engineering. At least the Leitz /Leica lenshoods have usually aided the
visualising of the image area rather than hindering it.
