vahe_sahakian Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Question for members. I have 5 LTM Leicas, starting with IIIg, IIIf, IIIc etc. and am looking to get my hands on a Leitz 50mm bright line finder, no other brand please. If you have to guess, what do these things go for these days in excellent, good, fair, etc condition? Appreciate your response. Vahe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furcafe Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I paid about $112 for 1 last year, good condition (perfect glass w/a few nicks to the chrome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frederick_muller Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Check out the Voigtlander 50mm finders too. They are really nice, and you can get them new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtdnyc Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 How do the SBOOI and Voigtlander finders compare in terms of optics, overall quality and -- most important -- eye relief? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahe_sahakian Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 "Check out the Voigtlander 50mm finders too. They are really nice, and you can get them new" I had one of these Leitz 50mm finders a long time ago and let it go for almost nothing, and like every other Leica equipment that I have sold in the past, I always live to regret losing these jewels. To me the eye relief and the overall quality of Leitz finder is hard to beat.I would like to see the Voigtlander finder if someone can give me the URL for this product.

john15 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 So you're the guy who's cornered the market on Barnacks. By the way I stopped in at Photovillage and had a look at a couple of CV finders, a 50 and 35. Great eye relief and big,bold,bright framelines.Now I just need a good Barnack to go with them.
