Has anyone looked at the Zeiss 28/25mm accessory finder? I was wondering if it is worth getting to use with my Biogon 25mm (on M7 0.58 finder and Herar RF bodies)? Does it show brightlines for BOTH focal lengths?

I've read the CV 25mm finder is without framelines. Right now I'm using a Leica 21-24-28mm finder, which is good. At its 24mm setting this Japanese made Leica zoom finder is approximately correct for the 25mm, but unfortunately has no brightlines.

PS. The Biogon 25mm is a wonderfully sharp lens for lanscapes/cityscapes. Color rendition is strong and flare well controlled. This Biogon is a bit long, but much narrower than the Leica 24mm ASPH. It does obstruct the Lower right of camera body viewfinders more than most lenses on M7 0.58 and Hexar RF. Build quality is superb and the markings are crisply well done.
 
The newer CV 25mm finders have framelines. Only the first ones were without.

P.S. Welcome to the forum :)
 
Welcome, SDK! And thanks for sharing your impressions of the 25mm Biogon; that one for some reason has caught my imagination.
