ZHi Richard! I don't know about the Leica finder (though I cannot image it would by anything less than superb). > Leica R 2x Viewfinder #14300 But, I own one of these little "doogers", and it fits the R8/R9 and SL series. Should be adapter to other cameras, though you'd have to try it, to be sure. http://tinyurl.com/bqm47lk Optically, just fine. I used to own a really poor r/a finder, but it did the job. Sure, there was a lot of "pinbarrel" distortion, but it only occurred in the finder, not the images. It was good for focusing/composing, and the rest didn't matter. When I was given the new r/a finder (above) I gave the old one way to a friend, who is still using it. Just my 2 cents worth.
