Voigtlander Turnit on Barnack?

[radiocemetery]

Hi Everybody,

Has anyone ever tried a Voigtlander Turnit on a Barnack style camera? How good is this viewfinder? I have a Canon IIf and A Leica IIIa that would benefit from an accesory finder. All I know about the Turnit is that it has views for 35 50 and 100mm. Do the views "zoom" or does it operate only as a mask? So many questions! Thanks.

Steve

Dear Steve,

Bulky. I wouldn't. (And I have).

It revolves (hence 'Turnit') for the 'telescope/wrong end of telescope' effect, and it uses masks.

Cheers,

R.

Thanks Roger. I will look elsewhere. I may bite the bullet and get the brightline type finders or the varifocal type.
