CONTAX G 21mm BIOGON QUESTIONS

[mpve]

To add to the discussion:

I always have the 21 viewfinder in the hotshoe as I shoot more then half of my slides with it. To prevent it falling off (it is indeed a bit loose) I put a thin piece of carton (or a thick piece of paper) between hotshoe and finderfoot. It works fantastic without any drawbacks (as with tape or glue).

If you still lose the viewfinder you will be able to buy a new Voigtlander 21 mm finder from: www.cameraquest.com . It is from Voigtlander but I will assume it will work for the Contax lens as well.

Like Marc-paul, I've resorted to securing the 21 vf in the hotshoe with a small slip of paper or piece of film.
Anyone know if the Voigtlander vf incorporates similar cross hairs as the Contax for focal reference?

You also could use this stuff from 3M for sticking on photos on wals fridges etc.
It looks like chewing gum but it does not leaves marks and you can clean the camera with, it works well.
You just stick a piece under the shoe while put up the finder.
If you get it stuck under the shoe make shure you got toothpiks ready before mounting the flash.
