Jim:

That big honker of a finder IS rather noticeable. I have one and it looks
good in the cabinet but I won't use it for actual shooting. I MUCH prefer
the small, larger view giving Leica BL finders. I even use a Zeiss folding
50mm finder at times because of it's life size view.

These are often attached to a rather beat-up IIIa although I use them on my
better condition III series cameras as well. Is there anything as nice and
compact as a IIIf with 50 Elmar?

Cheers!
