Hi all,
New owner of a GRD II. Just back from a family vacation, and the camera is superb. Saved me from lugging all my other gear. In fact, had more fun shooting b&w snaps than I have for a long time regardless of compact vs. DSLR or whatever.
Had a question with regard to Leica OVF's on the GRD II, and cannot seem to find information. I have access to a Leica 21mm OVF for little cost, and wanted to know if this would work on the GRD II with the GW-1 conversion lens. It would offset to the left and cover part of the flash, however, flash is of no concern for me at this FL.
I have tried the GV-1. The 21mm frame lines are close in 3:2, grudgingly acceptable in 4:3. The 28mm lines are useless in my opinion. I want an uncluttered 21mm view, so the Leica fits the bill if it indeed it accurate enough. I know their is a Voighlander 21mm as well, but would rather not spend more on it.
Anyone had experience with Leica finders on GRD's? Thanks in advance.
