Hi Paul, thanks for commenting. I've always wanted to try the 'F', I'll have a look around and see what I can find. They seem a good bit scarcer than the SP and SPII. I have a Ricoh Singlex-TLS and like it but the finder is a bit too dim for me. Have you found the F's finder brighter than the Ricoh? (if you've tried the Singlex TLS, that is.)
