What is the best way to use a 35mm with the SP?

Hey guys,

How do you guys use your 35mm lens with the SP? Do you use the tiny built-in viewfinder, an external viewfinder, or do you just shoot through the main viewfinder and estimate?

Best,
Rob

The main life-size viewfinder on an SP isn’t wide enough to show a 35mm field of view, assuming the entire area of the viewfinder is used, including outside the 50mm frame. The 50mm frames are actually pretty close to the edge. Hence: I use the built-in 35mm vf.

An S3 on the other hand still has a life-size view but with full 35mm framelines as well as a little extra area outside the 35mm frame.

the tiny VF is more than adequate for me 😱😱😱

I've been using it as well. The main viewfinder is just so nice...wondering if I can get the same experience somehow without switching lenses (or cameras!). Love the 35mm.
