Little things

All the hype about new Nocti, etc, but do not forget the new little accessories for the M system - especially not before complaining about lack of such. New external viewfinders for 21/24 mm lenses with M8 crop marks. That implies full frame for the new Summiluxes at the same time. A new magnifier for the viewfinder - it was hard to find the 1.25x glass now we get a 1.4x converter.

Looking at the Panasonic G1 at the same time, one should wonder if the R system is basically gone or may be merged in an M/R system with digital viewfinder soon.

Where did you hear about a new viewfinder with M8 crop marks? And a 1.4x magnifier. I have not seen or heard of any of these.

Oh I see them on the Dale Labs site.

Good luck trying to find any.
