My friened has acquired 2.0 cm wievfinder I present on photos below.
Russian 2.0 cm viefinders for Russar 2 cm looks are rectangles.
This one is round and is made like Russian 35 and 85 mm viefinders.

There are some things which tells me it is Russian:
- shape like 35, 85 mm
- style of letters
- coma bewteen "2" and "0" instead of point.


There are some things which tells me it is NOT Russian:
- no Krasnogorsk logo on front
- writing "F=2,0cm" above a rim not below like in Russian vievfinders
- writing "N401" - no on Russian viefinders
- "=" bewteen "F" and "2" - no on Russian viefinders

Do you have any idea ? Is it Russian or not ?

the style of the finder reminds me of german viewfinders custom made for makers like braun and exakta. but there are very few 20mm lenses, I only had a mir and a russar...
