Canon Angle Finder C
Pros: Most likely the best accessory I have for my 30D. Well suited for low angle shooting of flowers etc. Cons: I've found no way to secure the finder to the camera. I cannot trust it to stay on the camera while moving about in the out-of-doors. Also a little more friction would be nice as the finder is rotated around, it tends to flop around far too much. Buy This at Amazon, the price is right! After working in the studio without it, I knew that it was a necessary item for my EOS Canon. Camera accessory vendors were asking a lot more than Amazon, so I ordered it before Amazon changed their mind and I've enjoyed using this original accessory from Canon ever since; Thanks, Amazon! Crisp, clear angled viewfinder. The Canon Angle Finder C was a life (or more accurately a back) saver for me. I've used it for astrophotography so far and whereas before where I would have to lie on the ground and twist into a human pretzel to see through the viewfinder I can now get a clear view in relative comfort and greater dignity. The viewfinder has two magnification settings, the greater magnification is helpful for focusing. The image through the angle finder is crystal clear. The angle finder also pivots so you can move it to a more comfortable position (it is still 45 degrees but it moves perpendicular to the lens). The build quality is top notch. It comes with a storage pouch. I use it with an EOS 40D. Canon angle Finder C A must have product. The optics on this instrument are first rate. Other similar products are 3rd rate. This and a pair of kneepads are indespensible for the avid landscape and macro photographer. The down side, is that Canon doesn't even include a warranty sheet for the product. My first one disassembled itself at Badwater. I cobbled it back together but a couple of tiny ball bearings got lost. So, I bought a new one. Well built, sturdy piece of equipment. If you're very much into macro photography the extra magnification can make the difference between a spot on Depth of field and a wasted capture. Other than macro photography, this eye-piece can be really useful if you have trouble using the small viewfinder. The large eye-cup helps cut out any stray light that might normally interfere with what you want to see. This would have gotten 5 stars but the clarity isn't consistent over the entire extent of the lens; diminishing towards the edges. | |
