Leica X1 Brightline Finder for Leica X1 Compact Digital Camera USA
This Leica X1 Brightline Finder is a viewfinder for the 36mm equivalent lens of the Leica X1 compact digital camera. The camera does not have a built in viewfinder so this is the perfect accessory for using your camera in bright sunlight. This is a passive finder, so no camera data is viewed if the LCD screen is turned off.
The finder provides a remarkably vibrant, high-contrast image. Due to a concave mirror in the optics, part of the incoming light is used to illuminate the picture outline as a bright frame. This is the same as in viewfinders of Leica M cameras.
The optics are given a high-quality multi-layer coating to guarantee optimum viewing through the finder in all conditions. The high-quality metal body of the finder is designed in the popular retro look of the fifties and sixties, but is milled from solid brass according to the latest technologies. The eyepiece side is rubberized to protect eyeglasses.

There is a solid, quality feel to this finder. It integrates well with X1 and greatly improves ease-of-use in bright light situations (when the screen is hard to see).

Comments about X1 Brightline Finder for Leica X1 Compact Digital Camera:
This is a very bright viewfinder and is surprisingly useful with the X1. Using single point focus one can usually accurately estimate through the viewfinder where the focus point is. One can see the green light when the focus locks. The optical viewfinder is particularly good in bright sun when the Live View image on the back can't be seen very well.

Comments about X1 Brightline Finder for Leica X1 Compact Digital Camera:
Necessary for bright outdoor photography to compensate for when LCD is difficult to read.
An added item to carry that takes away from the convenience feature of the camera. Would have been nice to have had finder built-into the camera. Probably wouldn't have been of equal quality, however.
