Viewfinder / Huge Disappointment!

"Tell you what- I know I should have looked closer at specs, and yes- you get what you pay for, so all 'buyer beware'-isms aside; this is more of a gag, than useful tool.

"I use a depth of field adapter with a Sony EX1 and a series of prim 35mm lenses and need to quickly estimate the correct lense. Takes too long to change lenses and test it our when in the middle of a shoot, so a director viewfinder in this situation is invaluable, saves me a lot of time and can also …"  Read Full Review »

"The other reviewers have described the good quality of this VFM-11X, so I thought I'd add a few accessory suggestions.. 1. The Cavision rubber eye cup cap does NOT grip the eyepiece securely. So buy an extra, since you will lose it the first day in the field. (I will try some superglue.) 2. Th …"  Read Full Review »
