Hey brother, what happens if you decide to zoom in a little.

Say to 35mm on the lens, you going to have to estimate what is in the frame?

Hmm... they actually have a Combination 28 / 35 Brightline Mini-Finder, see here

If I'm not wrong, it shows the 28 and 35 bright lines.
BRIGHTLINE finders have projected framelines.

For the rest of the zoom range, maybe can get the multi-finders here (scroll down to "multifinders".... but they are collectors items

These are rangefinder camera's viewfinder, the cheap ones are the russian imitation. There's one kind in Ebay that covers 28-135mm, called the Turret Viewfinder or Universal viewfinder.

I have one, the window is really small, quite strainful to look through it but pretty useful when your rangefinder doesn't cover the lens range you are using.

Next time I bring to let you guys have a feel of it. Cost about $$90, but the built quality very bad. The one I got, I have to dismantle it to clean. The framing is slanted, have not figure out how to fix it.
