Hi Robert
I would strongly recommend the Hexar RF: mine (with black taped frame
illuminator window) is pretty much dedicated to the 24 (and rarely the 25
Skopar). The unhindered view is close to perfect, certainly better than the
separate finders (though I have yet to see how the new 21/24/28 finder will
be). I am not a big fan of the goggles on any Leica lens: they are heavy,
unbalanced, foggy, imprecise, prone to damage and screw up the focussing
accuracy but hey it is a great idea in theory! Pity Leica never tried to
execute the concept better.
BTW I must apologise for my tardiness in getting in on the project: just too
much going on at home and work at the moment.
