I would have them for all my lenses if cost was not such a big factor (only two more to go). There is something magical about the 1:1 viewfinders and photographing with both eyes open; way too cool and way too easy. It is just me and the subject. No meter displays, no focusing patches and bright blue sky overhead*. I even like my oh so not 1:1 21mm finder. It is like I am squeezing everything I can into a little box and then pouring amber all over them; especially if I have forgotten to remove my yellow filter and I have switched to colour film :-). With the 21mm and anything below f5.6 0r f/8, there is little need to focus anyway. It is a bit more tricky with the lenses above 50mm but, if I am not in a hurry, I still take the time to focus and view separately.
