There are some altenatives to the Varimagni however. The cheaper is a Prinz
right angle finder, which I found for a Pentax for $15. It doesn't have the
2.5X capability but *features* the same left to right reversal problem as the
genuine thing. A little filing is required to get it to fit Oly finders. A
more expensive alternative is the Pentax M series Refconverter. This is
allegedly a direct fit onto Oly cams and does NOT have a left-to-right
reversal problem.
