I find what you say about the Avenor finders interesting -- I'm in the market for a 21mm finder. Although I've heard differing opinions about the Russar finder, I don't like mine much at all, even though it is the later version with parallax control. It's difficult to see the whole frame (and I don't wear glasses), and there's a lot of blurring towards the edges. Okay for grab shots but no good for careful composition. I wish I knew where to pick up an Avenor finder. As you say, at 1/3 the price of the Leica finder, if they perform at all well it's a great deal. - -Patrick
