I've been trying to buy a Varimagni and I've seen the prices soar to over
$140! I won a bid on a Pentax rightangle finder for $45 - but it didn't hit
the reserve price. The Pentax will also fit on the Olympus and I understand
it doesn't reverse the image the way the Olympus finder does.
Great for macro work, which I'm currently doing!
