First of all, my thanks to all those who took the trouble to give their advice so promptly. Any delay in replying is due to my tardiness and poor keyboard skills. The upshot is that I abandoned my original plan and looked on-line for an alternative. A phone call to the nice man at ffordes Photographic in Inverness showed that a Nippon Kogaku Variable Viewfinder ( right vintage, decent condition! ) was available and it is now on on its way to me courtesy of Royal Mail. Again, thanks for all your advice Colin

I am looking for a viewfinder to enable me to use a 35mm lens on my Nikon S2. I have found 2 that might do the trick (I am not looking at Leica or Nikon prices!) These are the Olympus VF-1 and the Voigtlander Kontur. But! (here's always a but!) there are some questions that arise from looking at the various sales sites : 1) the Olympus is for a 17mm lens on 4/3rds format. How would this equate to a 35mm lens on 24mm x 36mm? I know the proportions might not match exactly but would they be close enough for most purposes (especially horizontally) 2) The illustrations of the Kontur clearly show '24mm x36mm' and '35mm' printed inside the front lens. Now, I take this to mean that it it for use with a '35mm lens on a camera with 24mm x 36mm format' Some feedback seems to suggest that this assumption is wrong. Can any of the knowledgeable members of this site shed some light on this before I click the 'Buy now" button? Colin
