Viewfinders for P&Ss

[Chrisrw]

I am eagerly awaiting my new GRD IV and noticed that many people are using external viewfinders for their p&s cameras. I miss using one and was wondering if anyone here has recommendations for which ones they like on the GRD's. And/or do you find them cumbersome and unnecessary?

Ricoh's GV-2 is a good match - small enough that the camera remains easily pocketable, but still easy to use even with specs. I find it useful when glare overwhelms the rear LCD or when I'm taking quick snapshots.

The GV1 (additional 21mm frame lines) is also good.
I like the 28mm Voigtlaender the most, though it's 2:3 ratio.

Thank you. I've seen people use the voigtlander ones on these as well. I was hoping to fine one a bit cheaper than half the price of the camera, but...

That's nice looking Kuvvy, thanks for the pic. I'll keep looking on the net to see what I find. Who knows, maybe I'll find a nice viewfinder with a Bessa attached to it 🙂
