the viewfinder issue

[newfinder]

It's my first time to use the viewfinder for the newly arrived 21f4.

My issue is: it's quite annoying that my nose tip frequently touched the 'internal viewfinder' when I was using the external viewfinder on the hot shoe(of course I was using my right eye to view🙂).

So is there any way to avoid this akward situation, there must be...

hi there...

I have found similar issues in the past with other cameras I'v owned. (dont have the problem with my bessa as I use the L as I only shoot wides with it and like the stripped down feel). But Iv found a double shoe adapter often works, moves your nose that little bit higher and you can fit a spirit level if you need / want one.

Thank you Matt! The double shoe adapter will definitely work, but could it generate some inaccurate composition?

Use your left eye

Or tape your nose to your cheek!

I know the worry newfinder, I had some issues using the system with my setup, but you have a slight compensation for the finder, and you get used to the difference really quickly.

Rub your nose on the front element of the lens so your pictures will look like the viewfinder image?

Use left eye. Solves problem. Nose oil on the camera's back is merely a minor nuisance.
