I also have to disagree with the very negative reviews here partly! Technically, the viewfinder for its purpose is very valuable perfectly fine and the execution of her. It needs to know even if it this accessory is worth the money or not just any. Really * need * one does the viewfinder for good photographic results are not necessarily - I myself have photographed with the LX-5 over a year without and some difficult situations to do then just through experience betting or you improvise (and I go easy times assuming that everyone who something like the LX-5 At length to photographically not a complete beginner - "snap" only there's so other cameras). Let's be honest: When the viewfinder is in any case more of a product with a high "have-want" factor and who, for example, a LX-5 or the almost identical Leica variant buys, chooses yes knowingly for a more sophisticated and high-priced product and may therefore not necessarily "Discount accessories" expect. I have allowed myself the viewfinder quasi as "icing on the cake" for the LX-5, according to the motto: If already, because already (but also used; the possibility there's so ...) and am very happy with it. And as you can - I think - the viewfinder actually only the miserable high original price accuse; technically it is as I said perfectly and completes the LX-5 of the photographic possibilities ago simply beautiful upwards from. No more and no less.
