Interestingly, the 24 finder *is* the 21 finder,  just masked to show the 24 
coverage.  I've never seen a 28 finder in the flesh (well, plastic).  Perhaps 
it's the same also. Wouldn't it be great if Leica made one finder (a *metal* 
one with a setscrew to secure it in the flash shoe) with bright framelines 
for 28-24-21 and a flash shoe on top (with pass-through for the TTL of 
course) which could be left permanently mounted?  For those who have 2 or 3 
of those lenses and had to buy $600-$900-worth of finders and switch them 
constantly, Leica could charge a pretty penny for such a convenience and 
probably sell quite a few.
