With the introduction of the 21/24/28 all-in-one finder, are the old style 24mm and 28mm finders still available? The Leica site is unclear. They list a 24mm finder, but no cat. number. I emailed them but no word back. My suspicion is that the new finder is destined to be the only finder. Uggggh!

Kent - I think you've got it!

Suddenly all those plastic finders that disgust collectors are going to become very valuable.

There is still some store stock available - invest now!

Only the 21 finder has been discontinued so far. The separate plastic finders give the best image quality of all of Leica's finders.

If you're looking for a finder, check around with some dealers. Even though the finders may have been discontinued, I doubt if Leica are taking them back as returns.
