The 0.72x finder is a magnificent achievement: crystal clear and tack sharp. The 0.58x finder's superimposed image is slightly dim and fuzzy when compared to an 0.72x. This does not make a difference in everyday use but critical wide open and close focusing in lowlight is MUCH easier with an 0.72x. I actually find such critical work impossible with my 0.58x regardless of whether the magnifier is attached or not.
