This is very expensive!!! Just goes to show you that you can really pay
more than you need to if you use Ebay. I paid $140 for mine here in Canada.
This translates to about $95 U.S. You can get a new one in Canada for $234,
which is about $154 U.S. (then you have to add shipping). So watch our for
the last minute buyers!!!
As far as its performance, it is great!!! I use it for astrophotography and
misc. stuff, great thought!!!!!

Subject: [OM] Varimagni Finder
Just watched an auction for a Varimagni Finder end, with the piece zipping
up from $86 to $115 in the last minute or so. The piece looks intriguing,
and seems as though it would be the cat's meow for working at odd tripod
levels, particularly very low tripod levels. (Avoiding hands and knees
trying to squint through standard viewfinder in wet sand in sub-freezing
temps comes immediately to mind.) Would be interested in hearing thoughts
from those experienced with the gear, though. My imagination has a way of
endowing unfamiliar equipment with near magical properties. Sigh.
