Comments about Canon Canon Angle Finder C:

It pays to purchase accessories made by the camera manufacturer: It fits, it works, and (as in this case) it works on older models and other cameras. No more on my belly in a swamp for that low aqngle macro shot.

Comments about Canon Canon Angle Finder C:

When shooting Macro one requires an angle finder that will maintain it's barrel position once set so that your hands are free to make other adjustments to your camera settings etc. [...]I returned my Canon A F C, while still under warranty, and got it back from Canon saying too bad here is where you can purchase another one. I demanded to speak with any photographer on the Canon staff. I did get a call back from Mr. Brooks and I sent the finder to him for inspection and repair. That was many weeks ago and he lately sent it to some "top person at Canon". This coupled with the failure of two L series lenses (one new in the box) the (other virtually new, but out of Canon Warranty), I am loosing faith in Canon. And worse I am fast loosing interest in photography.

Comments about Canon Canon Angle Finder C:

This is one of those things that, once you buy it, you think "why didn't I get this sooner?" It's very helpful for the low shots, but you can also twist the angle finder around through 360 degrees...so even if the camera is slightly higher than you, you can peer up in and into the angle finder. As you rotate it, the image stays level to your eyepoint, i.e. turn it 90' to the side and horizontal stays horizontal. It's easy to attach, however I wish the little metal fingers provided a bit more friction against the mount, there's more play than I'd like. Caveat: if a laser-etched matte grid is available for your camera, buy it..using this finder, you may not get the 90° alignment you seek..

This product exceeded my expectations, the light that this allows through is fantastic. This has allowed me to take the shots I have longed for, no more lying prone on the ground, scuffed knees and a sore neck.

Canon Angle Finder C Review
By PlankwingVerified Purchaser from Metro Portland, Oregon on 2/12/2007
Pros:
Required for waist-level
Cons:
Hi magnification setting
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Canon Canon Angle Finder C:

Required for waist-level or prone photography with Canon SLR/DSLR bodies. Magnification 1.25x or 2.5x by flipping lever. 1.25x useful, 2.5x not helpful to me, but that may be a factor of my less than perfect eyesight. Similar aftermarket products available, I haven't tried them; I stick to Canon-branded products because they've never given me trouble. Current use with 20D, DRXTi.
