The Leitz brightline one is the one I use. It wasn't pricey in my case
since I picked it up on a whim in the 70'ies when I didn't want to use
bug-eyes on my M3.

But another, VERY annoying feature ... it is metal ... with very sharp
corners. Digs into middle-aged fat around the waistline when carried
off of the shoulder.
