Hi all,
I'm shooting with Bessa R + Orion-15 28mm f/6. To frame, I use the 35mm frameline and a bit of guesstimate but I'm not entirely comfortable with it. Too bad that I wear eye-glass and can't use the whole frame of the finder for 28mm. So I'd like to buy an external 28mm viewfinder for the combo and I'd like to know which finder do you use with your Bessa that gives good results and/or nice look
? I value compactness and higher eye-relief. Personal user experience and pictures would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I use the metal Voigtlander one that Stephen - the guardian of this site - sells.
It very bright and clear and really nicely styled and made.
I like them so much I've bought them in 35, 28 and 21/25mm

Thanks for the input.
Well, things went wrong and I bought this 28-35 brightline metal finder in China which cost about US$55. It was made in some mountain village by some photography enthusiastics who can't afford Voigtländer. I get 0 compactness from the finder, but the eye relief is good and the magnification is about 0.65x. The brightline brightness is like some old skool Yashica tell-wide finder, not excellent but it gets the job done.
Gonna shoot some smoggy snapshots with his combo.
