The size is nice. The product feels strong but the instructions are not intuitive. I?m still not sure how to properly lock or unlock the viewfinder.

I own and use a Pentax 645z medium format DSLR. This camera is large and heavy. Not ideal as a walk around camera but the results it produces are outstanding, especially in terms of the latitude range for editing. Instead of carrying this camera around all the time, I leave this Alan Gordon Mini Viewfinder in my vehicle. I go for walks with this on my neck and scope out shots I want to come back for and even take a 'preliminary' shot with my cell phone. I wanted to use the same filter on this that I usually use on camera (Singh-ray Gold N Blue Polarizer) but didn't know what the thread size was as the manufacturer has disclosed this. Answer 37mm, which luckily is the same size often used for the clip on cell phone filter attachments. And knowing the filter size allowed me to replace the inconvenient screw on lens cap with a nice pinch style on/off one.

Gets the work done. For the price its a fairly useful instrument. You'll need to buy a case to better protect the viewfinder if you plan on traveling with it.

Affordable and lightweight viewfinder that is perfect for location scouts, tech scouts and production days to pre-visualize your shots. Well built and easily adjustable to suit your preferred aspect ratio.

There is no replacement for the Mark Vb but this little viewfinder does an excellent job giving you an idea of what's in frame. It's small so you don't get a good look at any detail, but it does help you frame a shot and get a general idea how wide the angle of view will be. I'd recommend this for amateurs, students, and people who have little or no experience with lenses or professional cameras.
