The price for the chrome Heliar 75/2.5 is 50,000 Yen and 53,000 Yen for the black finish. The finder is another 19,500 Yen. For most M shooters, the 75mm finder is not essential because of the built-in frame lines. However, it will be handy for my M6J/T which lacks the 75mm frame. > I take it the weight is 230gm, closest focussing is 1m, filter thread is > 43mm (ugh!) and length is 64.5mm overall, and 55.5mm from the flange?
