Congrats, but now that you have time, you can figure out how to replace the 
front convex glass element on my vintage Canon 28 black VF that's missing!

Wow that really looks nice.? Great finder for that black camera!? Well done!

Curt




Highlights:

1. brightline frame image is faint - but likely is because I wear glasses 
and 
can't get my eye close enough
2. but, brightlines are visible
3. frame size is the same as my Leica SBOOI
4. image is clear
5. front optics are from a re-worked SBOOI

Images are on RFF, if you want to see this baby:

I am feeling very very happy right now.
