4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Accessory, July 26, 2006

This is a great tool for those shots where you want to get down low. Macro work and landscape/waterscape shots near the ground are so much easier with the angle finder on than without. I have also used it when doing portrait work to get a more flattering angle without having to kneel or stoop over the whole time.

Now for the negative. It fogs up much easier than the normal eyepiece, which makes seeing anything a challenge under some conditions. And the big one for me, especially with macro work, you loose some light when using the angle finder. So if you are already working in a low-light situation, this only makes matters worse.

But in well-lit conditions where fogging is not an issue and you want to shoot low, this is an amazing accessory, thus the 4 out of 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never leave home without it, November 3, 2006

This tool transforms my DRebel XT's tiny little viewfinder into a usable one.

At it's 1.25x setting it shows a clear picture with 100% coverage of what the viewfinder shows. At 2.5x, the coverage is much less but that setting is very handy for very critical manual focussing jobs.

Remember to set your camera's diopter to it's default factory setting. Otherwise, flipping the angle finder between 1.25x and 2.5x magnification requires re-adjustment of the finder's diopter.

Another big advantage of this little device is that it gives you the freedom to try exciting angles (hey, they don't call it the Angle Finder for nothing) without breaking your neck.

The only minor downside is the initial learning curve in getting adjusted to the image shown by the finder.

If you only take an occasional photo this will not be of much interest to you. However, if you are like me and spend a lot of time behind your camera, you will love it. You will no longer be mashing your nose against the back of your camera body. I tried an extension for the view finder and found them of little use.

I use one of these on a Canon EOS 1Ds DSLR which is usually mounted on a tripod. This Angle Finder allows much easier viewing without having to twist your body around to see through the view finder. This allows you more flexibility on how you set up your tripod so you can get that perfect angle for the shot.

The only down side is that it is basically more glass to reduce the light getting to your eye and also more glass to keep clean. But I found these problems to be negligible and they are greatly out weighed by the benefits of using one of these on the camera.

I never leave home without it.
