Wondering if anyone has a particular external viewfinder they are particularly enamored over. I haven't tried any of the Voigtlander - but would be curious on any feedback. I thought that my Contax G 21mm finder was nice, but today I received a Horseman SW finder that is really wide and clear, very nice. I have had poor quality ones, but these 2 are clear, and the Contax viewfinder seems to frame the eventual image rather well.

I have a 21mm V.C. which is very nice & also an fsu 20mm to go with my Russar. Not as good as the V.C. but still not bad!
Have a Leitz Viooh (I think thats right!) which is ok at 50, but at 35 It's hard to see the edges of the frame & when you go to 135mm it's like looking through a tunnel!

I had a 28mm Canon VF'er that was nice. Just as bright as a Leica but had no projected framelines.
Lost my 28mm Canon VF'er in a trade because it went with the Canon Serenar 28/3.5 lens. Looked at beat up old Leica VF'ers that sellers wanted big dollars for. I found finding good Leica VF'ers to be a challenge.
Looked at the new 25/28 VF'er from Zeiss. Makes a Leica 28 mm VF'er look dim. Very bright and no distortion. This is my current VF'er for 28mm. None better.
