Top Viewfinder
Good Day All,
I have an M4-2 and I picked up a 28mm lens but my view finder in the camera only goes to 35mm, I was looking on there website and I see you can buy a top viewfinder (that goes on the hotshoe) in 21mm or 24mm. Does anyone know if there is one for 28mm?
Thanks,
Eric

Cosina Voigtlander also offers a 28mm accessory finder, as can be seen on Mr. Gandy's site here:

My camera shop in Delft, the Netherlands, had one. It had been in their inventory for a decade already, still priced in guilders... so I got it for cheap. I'd check your regular Leica channels for it. |

That's a multifinder, the previous 1 you linked to is the regular 28mm finder.

Not sure if I should go multifinder or just a 28mm, The multifinder looks big.

There's no reason to get a multifinder or zoom finder when all you have is the 28mm. Just like w/lenses, you pay a size & quality penalty for choosing convenience.
