I'd rather tend to agree that it's the first flower on a camellia, and there will be others. That pricing is high but I do have optical viewfinders - Leica and Voigtlander - that would work. It's the usual trick of price the first one high and grab the money from the needy and desperate. I'll wait especially as winter and street shooting can be arduous.
