which 21mm cv viewfinder for accuracy?

hello everybody,

which would you say is the best 21mm for framing and composing? i'm thinking about brightness and the framelines. the 21/25 is more cluttered with two focals? the solo 21mm has parallax lines...?

thanks

Accurate frame and RF camera in the same sentence is just bad English 😀 It gets even worse with an external finder having no parallax correction. To begin with, the cheaper finders that have a noticeable degree of barrel distortion are already making accuracy difficult - I find the Zeiss one of the better ones in that respect.

The best approach for identifying accurate composition might be to choose a couple of the most common camera to subject distances you use and then shoot one or more frames with something you place in each of the corners of your viewfinder then check where that object or mark ends up on the neg (of digi file). Then you have some data that will allow you to make adjustments when your shooting
