Hi Aram!
Ageed!
A note on the DPreview site says:

I really only have two complaints with my LeiCanon 30D. [1] the
viewfinder image is small and [2] the spot meter gives erroneous
readings (1 to 2 stops overexposed in various situations...
occasionally just fine!), though the center weighted and matrix
metering are both fine. The DK-21M may cure the first one, and
that's a good start!
It is possible that the US$95 Korean made lens has less
distortion/aberrations (though I do not know this) but even if it
does, why should it matter. This is not a photo taking lens... just
a vf accessory! I used to have a r/a finder which had horrid barrel
distortion... but I could see the frame, and compose. None of the
distortion showed in the photos!
If you try the DK-12M, please let us know how it works out. I'm tempted!
Cheers!
