Very handy for mirrorless system cameras - even when remaining air gap

Walimex Pro LCD Viewfinder 8.4 cm (3.3 inches) with camera mount for DSLR and system camera (optional)

Customer Review

I bought this viewfinder to use them with mirrorless system cameras without built-electronic viewfinder (EVF). There Such indeed depending on the model can be retrofitted electronic viewfinder for fitting / screwing, but these are i. A. compared to the housing very expensive. The live view screens such system cameras are i. A. only in Innenrauemen or at relatively low light outdoors useful in bright sunlight to get in all sampled from me camera models in difficulty (Sony NEX-5N / NEX-5R / NEX-7 {to the first two, there are good, but tricky and unstable fixed EVFs, the latter has a very good built-in EVF}, Panasonic GF1 / 2/3 {to former two there is only one crappy EVF}, Panasonic GX1 {for which an excellent EVF exists a 'must-have' Accessories}, Canon EOS-M, Samsung NX100 / 300/1000) - which can be very good with the Wallimex-viewfinder.

I ordered the part after 'Rene's and "# Bazi2012's review. The copy delivered corresponds to the mechanical properties of Rene's description, with the diopter adjustment I had no problem (I had not even adjusted for a perfectly sharp image). Calibration and mounting on Kameragehaeuse per cylinder screw with Allen I find practical and stable. touch screen functions are of course with attached viewfinder can not be used ... but a closer look is thanks to the small red Raendelschrauebe removed in a few seconds and plugged again.

The Wallimex-viewfinder works for me on all cameras from the above list. Composition is the lupenvergroesserten screen at least for me very simple and intuitive - better than with some EVFs, the Panasonic GX1 except times. I have in recent days on events some hundred recordings with the NEX-5R made with attached viewfinder and manually focused lens (Summicron 50mm f / 2 with NEX adapter) made, thanks to the increase in the viewfinder manual focusing is fast and accurate - almost all the shots were perfectly sharp. The focusing works for me with the viewfinder on the Nexen better and faster than with the EVF of the NEX-7 ... focused manually you're there with a little practice, significantly faster than the AF of Nexen ... Focus Peaking should be on, and the electronic magnifier for critical cases is griffguenstig on a function key, which enables very fast switching. Combining manual lens - NEX - Wallimex-viewfinder is still very easy, but quite long - the handling of the combination is different than a small DSLR, a for me a pleasant way.

Only downside is the air gap as described by "EH Stuttgart" between tube and LCD screen - although I previously had no real problems with stray light, you can see it in certain angles of incidence areas of sunlight / the lighting, how dirty a LCD screen on a can be camera (fingerprints, dust (; ->)) ...

This air gap for occurring by limited adjustment range and the relatively high price - it is, however, compared to retrofit EVFs guenstig - I was thinking about a star deduction, but think then but that must be five stars in the sum of all the properties.
