In the case of the Visoflex it's a chimney with a focusing magnifier above the ground glass. In the case of the R8 it's an optical devise with prism and ocular which attaches to the back of the standard viewfinder.

The color photo too has a near ground level perspective which I'm really enjoying (getting the camera away from my eyes which are close to 6 feet above the ground when standing) Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist On Sep 11, 2010, at 11:27 AM, philippe.amard wrote: > BTW, when you write angle finder, what's the angle if I may ask, and where > were you perched for the second one? > > Both very nice and quiet.
