I mostly use it with my Nikkor 35 f2.8 and sometimes with the Hektor 135 F4.5. I have the Nikon 35 finder for the Nikkor but have a hard time using it with my glasses. The Tewe is much easier for me to see through. The only problem is that it has a fairly thick shoe-plate and has caused some wear on my IIIf's accessory shoe.
