Questions & Answers

Shopper : is this compatible with the black magic pocket cinema camera ?TIMOTHY A : Sorry, I have no idea if it works for a pocket camera. It is an invaluable aid on my EPL5 once you get the camera programed to accept the device. It allows pics in bright light situations and more precise focusing of certain lenses.
Shopper : Is this compatible with the new Leica M type 240??? Can someone try?LINDA N : The VF-4is compatible with only Olympus camera bodies. Most of the bodies require a firmware update to utilize the new finder, but it is worth the time and effort as this is a very fine accessory.LINDA N : No. This Viewfinder is an electronic unit which is limited to selected Olympus cameras.ANDREW R : Unfortunately no, it's unlikely. This Viewfinder is specific to the Olympus E-P5.

A Valuable Accessory

As an old-school photo buff, I prefer a viewfinder to a mini-screen. The VF-2 was my trusty friend, but its optics are a bit on the weak side. The VF-4 solves this problem. It has very good optics, a generous field of view. Also, it locks in place. If you prefer a viewfinder, I think you will enjoy this product.

What you see is what you get!

This bright viewfinder totally transformed my E-PL7 into a fine working camera no matter how bright the sun is outside i will most likely keep it on my camera except for the times when i need to carry my camera in my pocket.

I love this thing

I upgraded from the VF-2, which already was one of the best electronic viewfinders - but the VF-4 is definitely an upgrade. The image is extremely clear and large. The magnifier works well even though I wear glasses - good "eye relief" means I don't need to get really close to have a wide field of view. Plus, it has the locking feature, so won't fall off like the VF-2. I'm a happy camper.

Olympus VF-4 Electronic Viewfinder features a magnification factor of 1.48x* that is even equal to a full-sized SLR, a high-resolution 2.36-million-dot LCD display, and a 100% field of view. This viewfinder achieves high-speed response, and a display time lag of approximately 0.032 seconds. With features such as a movable tilt mechanism, eye sensor, and shoe lock mechanism, viewfinder photography is easier than ever before.
