The axial rotation of the finder in the hot shoe can play a much more 
important role than could be envisaged.
One could presume all finders to be similar (the same?) but a 'Russian' 
35mm finder I had once was so badly off axis that a third of the shot was 
missing from the only roll of film I'd used it on, my sister in law's 
wedding! aaargh...
It always pays to check finders, especially non-Leitz ones.
