The hot shoe on the CL is almost exactly in line with the lens axis, although it might be a millimeter or two off to the right. With wide angle finders I'd be surprised if either of these offsets makes any significant difference in framing accuracy. With longer lenses, I'd guess that there's more error possible from the finder rotating in the hot shoe than from the hot shoe offset.

(Don't have my IIIc here to look at.)
