<p>Just wanted to add my experience to this old thread.<br> I purchased a 21mm Zeiss finder and used it for about a week before I returned it (originally a used item...). The reason why was the poor eyepoint, which required me to really squish my face against the camera. The plastic VC finder that came with my 21MM COLOR SKOPAR was better in this regard because it allowed a more comfortable viewing distance. I read many reports of people praising the Zeiss finder, so I was surprised to find it so uncomfortable to use.<br> I ended up getting a nice clean LEICA 12002 and I really like it. I like it a lot better than the VC and the Zeiss finders. It is compact, sturdy, and offers generous eyepoint allowing comfortable viewing. I also like that it doesn't have the offset foot that my VC finder has because the camera I use it with has the accessory shoe centered on the lens axis. Also I don't care that the LEICA finder lacks the contrast the other finders have. I just use it to compose.<br> In regards to accuracy, the field of view seems pretty much the same as my 21MM COLOR SKOPAR. As long as I stay conscious of parallax error, I have no issues with framing accuracy.<br> Happy Shooting!</p>
