Message-ID: <61.396374a.2652db7f@aol.com> References: I am considering buying the Leica 24mm for the M6. Does anyone out there know where I can buy a Cosina 25mm finder? I only want the finder not the lens/finder combo. Thanks Zack Schindler <<<<< Zack, I would recommend the leica finder, although it has a smaller magnification. The cosina has no brightline and it isn't clear where the field of view is. The leica finder just takes a while to get used to and then it works very nicely, although when I first tried it after using the cosina 35 finder for six months, I was horrified by how small the view was. Now it seems good, kind of a natural extension of the inbuilt viewfinder. It does cost almost double, though. The lens is worth every penny, whichever viewfinder you use. Ciao from Paradise Rob.
