Does anyone know what viewfinders will fit a Sensorex II? I have the camera and would like to get another viewfinder, but I have come across different labels for the different finders. On Ebay there are a couple labelled as "Type I" and "Type III". In documentation from Miranda they are called "VF-1" and "VF-3". In the manual I have for the camera there is another letter added. Are they all interchangeable? I don't want to be stuck with a item I can't use.

Sensorex finders I don't know that much about, there were two different types, the early one the same as the Automex and has a lip that fits into the front trim plate, the later one changed to show the Miranda logo out front.

Don't buy a model A-G or Sensomat finder for a Sensorex, it definitely won't fit. If you look at them closely, you can tell the differences. The Sensorex finder is wider for one thing.

Thanks folks.
I think I'm going to avoid buying anything that doesn't have the same designation as what is in my manual (VFE-1 and VFE-3). I think the ones that I was looking at were for an older model and may not fit.
