Looking through them, they have a dotted line on the upper side to mark the parallax compensation. Some finders have a lever with a distance scale to adjust for the parallax, but it was a few years since I saw a 135 mm finder. I think it should have a lever. I got the 50 mm finder only 1 month ago, and I wonder how on earth I could cope without it earlier. A lens like the collapsible Summicron with lens hood will obstruct more than 1/3 of the internal finder on any II, III and IIIF. The 50 mm finder give a bright life-size image, it is a stunning difference. And they are rock solid, all metal! Hans <it does not have any paralax compensation. How do you compensate for nearer photos???? Guess <apparently? Any comments on using accessory finders for the tm system? - ------=_NextPart_000_0078_01BEC473.CA3F9400 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=3Dtext/html;charset=3Diso-8859-1 = http-equiv=3DContent-Type><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 = HTML//EN"> <META content=3D'"MSHTML 4.72.3110.7"' name=3DGENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>Kent,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2></FONT><FONT size=3D2>I use 35 and = 50 mm finders=20 on my IIIF.
