hmm... In this case, and with the 15 and 21 CV finders I have, I'll
side with Didier. My 15 is definitely lower magnification and shows a
wider view than the 21 sans lines. Maybe a change in production. I
actually wouldn't mind a 21 finder with lower magnification; it would
make viewing with glasses easier.
