They're cheap and fun to have a play. It's LTM, tiny, got the groovy little mini hood and the Barnack focus lever. The VC metal finder for the 28 also very good IMHO.

I brought 11 rolls into Modernage today to try them out. Due for another brick of Xp2. Been shooting with mainly a collapsible Elmar but am amazed at the results I get with my 25mm VC Color Scopar snapshot lens more and more. Every day in every way. Probably will be landing a 35mm Summaron soon and be doing most of my shooting with that. But at this point LOVE my finder for shooting with the 50 Elmar. I got a VC 50 small little silver finder from Rich Pinto last week. Boy can I see with that thing. With my glasses. Both eyes open. It opens stuff up for me.
