On a recent trip to Canada and US I used my Hexar RF almost exclusively with
an Elmarit-M 24/2.8 ASPH.  Since the Hexar RF has a 0.6x finder, it easily
provides 24mm coverage, hence eliminating the absolute need for an external
24mm finder.

Following Tom A's advice, I put a piece of black tape over the frameline
illumination window, resulting in the disappearance of all framelines,
leaving an uncluttered view.

In this regard, the Hexar RF is probably the most ideal camera for 24mm use.
