Try Another One
By Mike Under Suburban Skies from SLC, UT on 7/16/2007
Pros:
Easy To Use, Lightweight
Cons:
Not Durable
Best Uses:
Macro Photography
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Unfortunately, I must agree with the first reviewer. I got this unit because I couldn't bring myself to buy the much more expensive Canon version. My main need for a right angle viewer was in macro-photography and astrophotography. Trying to get a critically exact focus on a star or the Moon with just the regular viewfinder on my Canon Digital Rebel XIi was hit and miss -- mostly miss. The little piece of plastic adapter which connects the viewer to my camera was very loose -- too loose. One night, the viewer slipped off, hit the ground, and the adapter broke. Instant useless viewer.
Save your money. Get something better.

Build Quality Lower Than Expected
By ChuckVerified Reviewer from Dallas, TX on 5/4/2007
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Pros:
Easy To Use, Inexpensive
Cons:
Distorted Image, Wobbly Fit
Best Uses:
Low angle photography
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I was able to compare this product with a friend?s Hoodman HRAV on my Nikon D70 and found the adaptors to be much cheaper (plastic instead of metal) and the fit to be less stable (wobbly). There was also considerable optical distortion except in the center third of the image with the 1X magnification. This Adorama Pro Optic product is less expensive than the Hoodman right angle finder, but I wouldn?t make the same choice again.
