A tricky one - they are all hideously expensive but the Toyo seems
like a good buy. Tried one out in Calumet and have been keeping my
eyes open for a used version. I would rather spend that much money on
a lens or film....
I use a viewfinder from a TLR camera. It includes a mirror that has
most of the silver still intact! It works well but I could do with
something with a little more magnification. It is probably around
2.5x so a 3x would be ideal.
Cheers,
Clive
