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,
