with all due respect to the venerable leica moniker (and to you, emanuel),
this viewfinder, like all current leica vfs, seems outrageously overpriced.

if it were me, i would seriously consider the cosina 35 vf for almost half
the money. if it's anything like their 15 and 25 vfs, i'm sure it's every
bit as nice - if not nicer - than the current leica equivalent.
