How does something like the SBOOI (50mm brightline finder) deal with
parallax?
Do you frame with the dotted line when you're below 10ft?
I was looking at a VIOOH, which the archives claim to be the best
variable Leica finder.
I assume that the ability to dial in different distances for parallax
correction would
make it more accurate than the above. The VIDOM looks nicer and is more
compact but 
the whole reversed, flipped/flopped image would probaly drive me crazy.


thanks,
