sean_reid Posted January 30, 2007 Share #21 Â Posted January 30, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I do not only read the review but also own the finder from using it on my rd1 for the 21/2.8asph. However so far I just have used the internal M8 finder for the 24....Its convenience....also it seems that I am not bothered from some viewfinder blocking as much as other people here. I dont know why but often I dont even realize that a part of the viewfinder is blocked with some lenses. Â Hi Thomas, Â Right, that would be natural from another R-D1 photographer. Some photographers don't seem to mind the lens blocking their view at all. I myself really need to see what I'm doing (to the extent possible) right across the frame.

xrogers Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share #22 Â Posted January 30, 2007 Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I think I'll get the CV finder for now and see how it works over the next couple months. If I end up not liking it, I'll still have time to use my early adopter lens discount on a 24 or 28.

Woody Campbell Posted January 30, 2007 Share #23  Posted January 30, 2007 Yes, but it uses different proportions for the frame lines. Cheers,  Sean  3x4 rather than 2x3, and it's offset to the right (from the rear) so it obscures the index for the shutter speed dial.

woodyspedden Posted January 31, 2007 Share #24  Posted January 31, 2007 I am using the Leica 21/24/28 xternal finder with the WATE and I think the finder is lousy. Framing is way, way off. Danni I haven't noticed this Danni but maybe I haven't paid enough attention. So I am going to do some more rigorous tests and will report back.  Woody Spedden Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannirr Posted January 31, 2007 Share #25 Â Posted January 31, 2007 I found the framing to be off (but at least in the right direction - more is captured than shown) - and I also find the parallax error to be a challenge (as it would be with any finder) Â Danni Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
