Looking for a longer viewfinders (105mm-200mm)

[dougiec29]

I've been looking for a brightline viewfinder to use on a dSLR. Sort of an experiment in sports photography. Anyway, out of the info that I found on the web, Leica's 135mm seems like the best option (135mm is a great length for the brightline for me, finder is quality constructed and bright, and it is life size 1:1 magnification). Are there any other options with 1:1 magnification (or maybe bigger)? I also saw a very inexpensive Komura 105mm finder. Any thoughts on it (besides you get what you pay for - it's $12).

An external finder on a digital SLR may give you trouble with auto-focus, and you will not be able to use a zoom. Komura had a reputation for making excellent products. You could also look for a TEWE (multi-focal) finder.
