It is available used, at more comparable costs. The Zeiss 25 uses the outside of the VF window, Inside is a projected 28mm window. Double Duty! I prefer the Zeiss....by a far margin. Most of the external VF cover the area of the lens in question, but not like a SLR.. Usually the VF covers more territory. 25 = 24 for all practical purposes. Note: In the past, several 24/25mm VF have been made, including an older Zeiss. The newest Zeiss are substantially more clear to look through. Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net
