Since its supplied viewfinder is 83% coverage, I suspect it would be a dandy viewfinder for a Leica 21mm lens with just about 100% coverage. And the Heliar plus viewfinder only costs $150 more than the Leica 21mm viewfinder alone. So I'd recommend buying the Heliar 15 and the Leica 21 lenses ... and saving $300 on another viewfinder. Hey, 2 lenses and viewfinder for only $150 more: such a deal! Although it's plastic, the Heliar viewfinder is very nicely made and is optically clear and bright. It doesn't have the bubble level that the Zeiss Hologon 16 viewfinder had, but it has a pair of notches on the sides in horizontal orientation that suffice to help you level your horizons easily.
