True, it is slow, but for picture quality and versatility on the street (or on a trip), it is marvelous.

Looks slightly fatter than the 28-35-50 Tri-Elmar. But the more sensational thing seems to be this new finder. Looks like the framelines are switchable. The wheel at the top front seems to have indexes for 28-24-21-18-16 (that's all variations of the new tri-elmar for fullframe and cropped). Can't really read the indexes of the wheel behind it. Are these focal lengths or distance marks? The index closest to the back seems to be an infinity sign, but I'm not shure. I expect the parallax is likely adjusted with the weel at the bottom, close to the hotshoe mount? Does the top wheel behind eventually offer even more framelines for other focal lengths?
