Hi

I would like to use my 35mm and 50mm summicrons on my Minolta CLE. I can live with the 40mm framelines that the 50mm summicron brings up (I have been guestimating framing pretty succesfully). However, the 35mm summicron brings up the 28mm lines on the CLE and that is too difficult for me.

Can someone recommend A SINGLE AUXILIARY FINDER that can frame both 35mm and 50mm and that is decent? I don't want to have to juggle finders as I juggle the lenses, that's why I want one finder for both lenses. I don't like the looks of those turrent finders, something small would be nice. Parallax correction is not absolutely required.

I have seen this BRAUN FINDER on xBay every once in a while (see attached picture). HAS ANYONE USED IT? It has settings for 135, 85/90, 45/50 and 35/38mm, looks pretty small and has parallax correction. Could be ideal if someone tells me it's decent. ALSO, I'm a bit concerned about the frameing accuracy given "45/50 and 35/38mm": there's not a lot of difference between 45mm and 38mm.

Any opinions or comments would be most appreciated.

Regards,
---Yaron
