I was thinking about purchasing one of those viewfinders, but because of
your comments I'm losing interest on it. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Especially important for us glasses wearers ;-) The current 28 and 35 mm CV
finders (metal, cylindrical shape) are the most expensive of the range, but
they're really SUPERB! Brighter and "contrastier" than life, very compact,
well made and with a pleasantly long eye-relief...

The regular series of CV finders (plastic, rectangular frame) are very good,
but not as nice. Even the Russian 35mm finder I own is a tad brighter, but
also bigger.

Cheers,
