May I disagree with one observation? I had the older metal
21mm finder and nor have the  black plastic one. I find the
more recent plastic one to be better as the eye-relief is better
suited for people wo wear glasses. I can easily see the entire
field with it and I cannot with the metal one, when I wear
my glasses (and I always do). Please check this out, if you
wear glasses. Ed
