[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've heard many LUGgers talk about the difficulty in choosing between a 21 or a 24mm lens, and now that I'm considering something wider than my 35, I'm faced with the same problem. Don't touch those flamethrowers yet: I'm not asking the LUG which lens I should buy :) I'd like to help myself make that decision by mounting a 21 or 24mm viewfinder on the camera's hot shoe, without actually mounting one of those lenses, so I can simply "preview" the field of view in my everyday shooting (usually 35 or 50mm). The "right" lens choice should be obvious to me after a while (even if it takes months, that's fine). Can anyone recommend a cheap viewfinder? Since I might like to upgrade to a Bright Line finder when I settle on a focal length, I don't want to get something *too* nice. If it were a 21, I could even etch the 24 lines into the same finder. Any do-it-yourself finder ideas are welcome, too. Andrew no archive
