John- Central Camera in Chicago had a very nice one in like new condition in the box. I played around with it on my M7 for a while, but passed on it. It seemed to make my M7's brilliant finder a little less than brilliant - almost as if I was peering through a cheap rangefinder. Is this normal? Maybe the goggles needed a good cleaning. Karen p.s.
