    Speaking of Viewfinders - Interesting Item

    Surfing the net I found this interesting item. I'm curious if it really works....any of our friends from England tried this out?

    It could be usefull for certain things. Especially for those who would rather have an LCD screen to look at instead of the viewfinder.

    That does look pretty cool. I didn't read the description, but from the images, it looks like it could come in handy in certain situations.

    Almo's right; for macro that would be great. I could also see it being useful for taking shots over your head or really down low on the ground.

    Neat find,

    This does look an interesting toy - er tool.
    I thought in its orignal form, viewfinder only, it was expensive and ot as useful as the angle finder.
    This one looks much more useful.

    If I did my math right, that comes out to about $340 US. I priced an angle viewer from Canon a while back and it was around $200. If this item does everything they say it does and you have a use for all those features, that doesn't seem like a bad price compaired to the one from Canon.

    wonder what the refresh rate is.
    Remember that moving objects might look choppy because of low refresh.
