pappde Posted December 23, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 23, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think I found the best externa viewfinder for the X1. I put it on my DL4 and took snapshoots with my phone. It is a Leitz WEISU 35mm finder from the past. On the DL4 frames pretty well, leaves the camera still pocketable. And the finish will match the X1 just perfect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiOnara Posted December 24, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 24, 2009 Matches the X1 finish too. How £££ do you think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappde Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted December 24, 2009 It should cost around the same as most other Leitz/Leica finders $300-400. The trick is to find one. There is one on Ebay for $750 and a black one about the same price. Mine came from a camera nuts collection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grober Posted December 24, 2009 Share #4 Posted December 24, 2009 Off your meds again, eh? The perfect v/f for the X1 is the 36mm one sold by Leica for the X1 (expense not being an issue.) -g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappde Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted December 24, 2009 I wish. The size of this one is only half of the 36mm Leica one. And I still think tis will be a better match. At least for me. BTW. This one was FREE! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiOnara Posted December 25, 2009 Share #6 Posted December 25, 2009 Yeah this looks a lot smaller. How bright is it compared to the newer finders? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappde Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted December 25, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I cleaned the lenses and blew it with compressed air. It is very clear. I do not have the new one so I really can not compare, but I was using it Xmas night, and worked like a charm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
