Cheap 35mm hotshoe viewfinder

[gblader]

Just thought I'd share ~ I got an old Uashica GSN and it came with a viewfinder for the wide and long lens adaptor a although I seen them going for like $30. Seems like a cheap alternative to see if you like using an external viewfinder. The wide is 37.7mm i believe...so you can kind of guestimate... Just wanted to share with y'all^^ sorry if its already been brought up^^

Another cheap alternative, is the Olympus VF-1 for the 17mm f2.8 m4/3 lens. The vf-1 loosely translates to 35mm and the Fov is very close to my canon 35mm vf.

Selling for about 60$ used, this is one of the best alternatives to the SBLOO.
If you didn't mine spending the money, the X1 finder is 36mm equiv. and sells for around 160$ used. Much cheaper than a black paint SBLOO.

I use the Leica brilliant finder made for the D-Lux 4 (24mm) with my cv 25/4, in practice the Leica finder is just about spot on with the 25mm. With a little give mostly on the left hand frame-line, this is speculative at best. Negligible, I say so.

remember that the VF-1 has brightlines in 4:3 aspect not 3:2
