If I am going out with the M3 and a 35 then a brightline works wonderfully well. For really critical work(for a rangefinder) with a 21 then the brightline is preferred. But when I am traveling with one body and a wideangle set then the multifinder does a good job of taking up little space and not having to fumble around in the bag when I change lenses. Horses for courses. What I think bothers many people about the multifinder is that it is not a brightline finder; eye position is critical for getting accurate framing and the eye relief is barely ok for glasses users: you need to shoot with the finder and look at your negs/slides to calibrate the wysiwyg thing. Last, if truly accurate framing is critical for your work, use a Nikon F series, a Canon 1 series, or the Contax professional body or shoot loosely and crop in PS. :) Don don.dory@gmail.com On 10/22/05, Stan Yoder <vze2myh5@verizon.net> wrote: > > Anyone who has this 3-in-1: do you like it?
