Amoung them are the Avenon/Kobalux 28 finder (which he considers the best buy:use) the Canon and Komura. None of them being as nice as the Leitz, but all being workable (less costly?) non-brightline options. He also lists the Nikon and old Zeiss but doesn't care for them and the Contax G2 version which is brightline, but it's probably about similar cost to the Lietz. Personally, I'm gonna try for a 28mm on the .85 that I get and shoot with it some to see how much is missing and if I can live with it. I can't think that it can be much worse than the % that is lost from the average SLR viewfinder? Carpe Lumen, Michael E.
