CV 35mm viewfinder fit on Olympus E-PL5

[v_roma]

Hello,

I recently got the Voigtlander 35mm viewfinder to use on my Olympus E-PL5 but I am finding that the viewfinder does not fit snugly into the E-PL5's hotshoe and comes off very, very easily. Has anyone had a similar problem and, more importantly, have any suggestions for workarounds?

Thank you!

The CV 35mm VF fits snug enough on my GF1. I have a FSU turret VF that doesn't fit well, a piece of index card cut to fit in the flash shoe is just thick enough to make the VF stay in place,

Ditto on the piece of index card... works great.

Thank you, biomed and Jamie! I'll give it a try.
