For size, weight and brightness it can't be beaten. So far it hasn't broken, either. The Contax G finder is under $200, very nicely finished, but it doesn't match the Leica finishes and it isn't very small. I tried one of the Russian finders...had no bright-lines at all and couldn't see it all with glasses, also it had much distortion. DT
