It's not the equal of the E.Leitz or the Voigtlander, but it's 90% of the way there. But if I had one of the two better ones, I'd probably use them. I used a 35mm finder so seldom, I'm too cheap to buy another one.

I don’t need a Leica one, but I would use one if it were demonstrably better. Also, I don’t want to wait for months to try and find some oddball brand. So, what can the collective tell me about the good/bad of the Voigtlander finders as compared to the Leica? Items like brightness, build quality, and most importantly, frame line accuracy. I will be using it with a 35 Summicron pre-asph. And if anyone has one lying about, give me a shout.
