Marc,
Thanks, one of the reasons for my wanting to check this (not having read the
article) was that my TEWE finder has an engraving on the bottom forward
facing sloping foot whereas the one in the Feininger photo doesn't.
I'm 100% happy that its a TEWE and my new finder is inconsequential, but
very nice. ;-)
