Leica Universal Wide-Angle Viewfinder for M System

Comments about Leica Universal Wide-Angle Viewfinder M:

It has the range 16mm, 18mm, 21mm, 24mm, 28mm,
because it is designed for the Tri-Elmar super wide of Leica M lens
and it has a frameline shifting mechanism that you can flip for different focus distance 0.5m 0.7m 1m 2m, and infinite setting,

It has a large physical size, and it is obvious and eye catching which could be a minus for street photography,
It is made to be most effective when you shoot in close range, as you can adjust the frame lines to be very close to exact for careful composition,

I like the design very much, it was bought to be used with my 21mm f1.4 summilux lens, I feel that it is worth its price
however the Quality checking dept of Leica did not do a good job, the illumination plastic piece fell out of its glued position, luckily I was able to catch it bring it out of its packing the very first time !! I had to bring it to Hing Wah (the distribution company and fixing of Leica in Hong Kong) to fix it the very same day I received it, and the fix was to glue it back into place, which I would not attempt to do myself, as the wrong type of glue will fog and ruin it completely

This is not the kind of thing you would expect to happen when you paid top dollars for a viewfinder..... so Leica you failed here !! although I love your cameras and lenses !!

It is supposed to be new as it was purchased new, but I have some hairline scratches on the bottom of my viewfinder, before I put it onto my camera, after inspecting the possibility of when this could happen, I found out that it was done by removing it from the M-body.....
obviously someone played with it on an M-body before me getting it delivered

after all it is still a nice piece of accessory to have from Leica, and you will love it once used it for your super wide angle lenses, so I would suggest anyone to try it
