When I got my used 21 2.8 Elmarit I, too, was stunned by the piece of junk being sold as a Leitz finder. The folks at Ken Hansen assured me that with any kind of serious use the foot of the finder would break off in three to six months, so I purchased a used, all-metal, version of the finder. Yes, I paid a bit more for it, and yes, it was to their financial advantage to tell me what they did, but that plastic thing is a joke.
