DIY dual viewfinder holder

[mad_boy]

Dear fellow forumists,

I was getting tired of switching viewfinders every time I changed to/from my 12 and 21mm VC's :mad:. Thus I went to work...:rolleyes:.....

I bought 2 junk camera's for 1 Euro each that donated their hot-shoe.
I bought a junk flash for 1 Euro that donated its flash-shoe
With a strip of aluminium I bonded them all to gether to form a new 'leica goodie':D

Advantages:
- Both finders on the camera at once.
- Selecting the correct lens is easy (Just like the preview lever)
- Easier to store the finders in the camera bag.

Disadvantages:
- Looks even weirder than one single finder
- Does not match the build quality of the camera:D

Cameraquest offers these from Cosina at a slightly higher cost.

Yep, but the shoes are too close to fit both finders (the 12 mm finder is quite large)

True Biomed, but it is better to build than to buy.

Have to remind that oneliner!
