I have a Varimagni finder which does have two marks (white dots about 3mm
diameter) which show zero correction but I have seen several other finders
without these marks. They are definitely original as I have had it since
new, and at first assumed that others had them too.
Anyone else got one of these - or have I got an unusual item :)?
