Stereo?

When traveling, I will take my WATE.  What I want to do is to cut bulk by
using a 21 ( most likely lens setting) and 15 (Widest lens setting, CV)
finders and not have to switch them out.

The Frankenfinder is my backup if I can not find the double holder....  As
you know, quite bulky.

Alternative backup is a single 18mm finder and mentally allow for the VF
"error"....  Until this week, I did not have an 18 finder.

Curious, why do you want/need two viewfinders at once?

Follow up....for the record....

There is a Thumbs Up model CSEP-4S that has a more than 1.5 inch
spacing...and has a thumb grip as well....
Works for anything : Zeiss, Cosina or Leica or any mix and match....

Life is good....


Cosina Spacing is 1.22 inches.... Will work only for 2 Leica finders.  Mix
or match with Cosina or Zeiss will not work.
DAG model has spacing of just a bit over 1 inch... will not work for any 2
Finders....

For the record....
Zeiss Finders are 1.25 inches wide
Leica are 1.125
Cosina are almost 1.5

Do not have the spacing for the Cosina "bar"....

DAG can make you one for $75 with two real Leica shoes. See his site. The CV
one has gotten insanely expensive. I may have a plastic one somewhere.
