Some people like separate finders and others don't; you have to try it for yourself. My only complaint with separate finders is that my big nose makes greasy marks on the camera's viewfinder when I look through the separate finder. It is easy to adjust the position slightly to prevent this but sometimes I forget. Accurate framing is just not a rangefinder positive. I have shot a ton of film through mine and have a pretty good idea what will end up on the neg. It is the same with separate finders, they are pretty accurate at one distance and you estimate for the rest. I have a finder for my 24 and I use it or the complete finder of my 0.58x camera depending on carrying constraints. I can have a 35 or 50 on the camera and the 24 in my pocket. No need to carry the finder for an occasional wide shot. If I am shooting primarily with the 24 I use the finder.
