Yeah, the pretty one. hence it makes one's photos look better too.
I have the CV and the Leica chrome version. The CV is by far the best 
,usability wise, though it looks like a piece of dog poop on one's fine 
photographic  instrument. The Leica chrome finder, which costs more than a 
basic LTM , with CV mounted on it, looks too cool for school, yet is 
horrendous to use. I had the Leica plastic version, not too long ago. It's 
as bad as the leica 24 finder. I also once had the Zeiss 21 finder, made for 
the Biogon. I wouldn't buy one again. The build quality is too close to its 
later Soviet era cousins. The very best finders from leica are the 28 (all 
versions), 35, and 50. And yes, I have all of them. Though for the 28, I 
only have the chrome and the plastic versions. I no longer have the folding 
version. Everything else can substituted with aftermarket finders.
S.d.
