Alan Gordon Enterprises Mark Vb Director's Viewfinder

I does what it is supposed to do. The image is tiny and takes some time to get used to. But I dont think that is something that can be helped. After only a week the click for each aspect ratio moved alignment. Now it is slightly miss aligned with the tally marks. Not a big deal, still works fine, but for the price I expect it to stay aligned.

I’ve owned the Cavision director’ viewfinder for years now and it’s served me well. After a lot of debate I finally decided to “upgrade” to the Alan Gordon Mark Vb and when it arrived I was seriously let down. To start with it doesn’t go as wide as my old Cavision, unless you spend the extra $ on the wide angle adapter. Next, while the 12x zoom function works great, it also shrinks the image in the viewfinder to ridiculously small proportions, making it really tough to see what you’re looking at. Then there’s the aspect ratio selection ring, which at least on mine was very loose, to the point where it turns when I’m adjusting the lens selection ring. Finally there’s the cost. There’s zero reason this should cost what it does. Even if they cut the cost down it would be overpriced. The nicest thing I can say about it is that it does what it claims to do. Like the heading says, save yourself half the cost and buy the Cavision one instead.

Perfect and exactly what was needed. Purchased this for my daughter who is an upcoming cinamatographer.
