something I learned from that thread is that there are actually people who buy things only if money has gone back in to their paypal account. That takes some admirable restraint. 🙂

I think the finder is worth more than the lens, since that lens is uncoupled. Isn't there a simlar (same?) setup in the classifieds here?

the finder goes for 128. the lens is 245, i think and the hood is 45. plus the l body at under 100.
all that for 225.

ahh, ok
ahh, ok
that is a great deal, somehow I thought the finders came with the lenses. Go for it, just sell off the parts you don't need.

Hi Joe
Hi Joe
I did some digging, and it appears the 25/4 did include a VF in the list $245 price, while the 28 and maybe some other CV's didn't. Maybe check with Stephen Gandy. It's still a good deal, but not sure you could quickly sell the "L" and 25/4 off, and still get the VF for free...

yeah, probably. Given that it is a new VC finder, I imagine that it will be brighter than my old Canon 25 finder. Looking forward to the lens- I came very close to buying one new a few times. The Canon 25 is an OK lens, but vignettes quite a lot in the corners. The fact that the VC is not rangefinder coupled doesn't bother me, because the huge DOF makes focusing more or less irrelevant.

cv finder for the 21 is brighter than any canon finder that i ever had.
i'm still on the fence as to if i get one or not.

Finders are sort of a notoriously bad deal, but when you need one, you need one so they take it out of your hide. $128 for the CV 25 finder is painful - I lost one once and paying $130 for a replacement felt just like getting robbed.
The fact that they include one with a pretty nice lens in the 25/4 Snapshot for just $225 or so is something of an indication of its true value.
