Thanks for the report Godfrey, I held off on my purchase of the Olympus finder and took a chance on this cheap bin.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7578989152 It is probably for a K body since I had to take a file to it to make it fit. Most I can figure it is a Prinz brand based on the model number. It too has the horizontal view reversed. Not the greatest optic but it is bright enough and fairly well made. It also fits my number one criteria: cheap! I would rate this one of my better ebay bargains. Perry. On 1/24/06, Godfrey DiGiorgi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just wanted to report back on this ...
