Questions & Answers

George P : Will this Right Angle viewfinder work with the Nikon D300, Nikon D700 and Nikon D800?DANA T : A variety of adapters come with this item. I've used it with the Fuji IS Pro (D200 body) and a D5000. SO in all probability, yes it will work with most any Nikon. The downfall is, you need to use an adapter, but the cost is certainly more attractive than the OEM Nikon.XAVIER O : Yes it does George on my nikon 300s it's a good buyMike H : That response didn't answer the question, which is the same question that I have. "Virtually all" doesn't mean "all", so it looks like it's "purchase and hope it fits".ANDREW R : The Polaroid 1x-2.5x Right Angle Viewfinder is compatible with virtually all digital and film SLR's and comes with 5 distinct eyepiece adapters to work with Canon EOS, Nikon, Minolta, Sony Alpha, Leica, Pentax, Olympus and Fuji cameras.
DON M : Will this work on my Canon 5d Mark III?RICHARD N : Don should note that it comes with 5 eyepiece adapters and Canon EOS is included in the product description here:: <a href="http://www.adorama.com/PDPLRAV.html" target="_blank">http://www.adorama.com/PDPLRAV.html</a>RICHARD N : Don should note that it comes with 5 eyepiece adapters and Canon EOS is included in the product description here:: <a href="http://www.adorama.com/" target="_blank">http://www.adorama.com/</a> PDPLRAV.htmlRICHARD N : Don should note that it comes with 5 eyepiece adapters and Canon EOS is included in the product description here:: <a href="http://www.adorama.com/" target="_blank">http://www.adorama.com/</a> PDPLRAV.htmlGARY D : Don, I have never used the Polaroid Right Angle Viewfinder (RAV) but it seems similar to the Hoodman RAV that I have. Apparently the Polaroid RAV has an assortment of eyepiece adapters, similar to the Hoodman, which pretty much assures that one of them will fit your 5D Mark III. I have a 5D Mark II (hope to upgrade to the Mark III next month) and one of the Hoodman eyepieces fits fine...I assume one of the Polaroid eyepieces will also. On another note, have you had any problems with the prongs in the memory card slot getting bent? I read about the issue somewhere on-line and a friend of mine who has the Canon 7D had to send his camera back to Canon for that reason. I am wondering whether they have addressed this problem or are ignoring it.HIROSHI K : I don't have a Polaroid right angle viewfineder but it should work on Canon 5d. I have a Hoodman right angle viewfinder and use it with Canon D40. My Hoodman comes with a few adopters, one for Canon EOS. The Polaroid should come with a few adopters as well, one for Canon EOS, another for Nikon and perhaps more. Hope this helps.

About Polaroid 1x - 2.5x Right Angle Viewfinder

The Polaroid 1x - 2.5x Right Angle Viewfinder is a convenient tool to expand your shooting style. Instead of lifting the camera to your eye each time you prepare to shoot (and letting the world know you are about to), use the Right Angle Viewfinder attached to your SLR's viewfinder and shoot in a less conspicuous way.

Bring your eye to the Right Angle Viewfinder at chest level and you'll have a lower, more interesting angle from which to compose. Or use the 2.5x magnification option and shoot from waist level. With a quick glance downward, not only will you shoot on the "down-low", but you'll get more keepers by eliminating the time and disruption it takes to bring the camera to your eye and re-frame the shot.

Of course, this viewfinder is also designed to work when your camera is on a tripod. This allows a much more comfortable approach to composing your image. As opposed to getting down on your knees or craning your neck to look through the viewfinder, the Right Angle Viewfinder allows a less contorted position, just bend and look down. The 2.5x magnification also gives you the option to better check focus before you shoot.

The included rubber eyecup eliminates stray light and is comfortable for your eye and an adjustable diopter will accommodate for any individual eyesight, even if you wear glasses. The eyepiece of the viewfinder turns to focus the diopter and even when rotating the viewfinder up to 360deg., the subject of your photo will remain in the correct position.

There are 9 optical elements in 5 groups inside the viewfinder and the glass is high definition and multi-coated to eliminate flaring and offer even light transmission. The Polaroid 1x-2.5x Right Angle Viewfinder is compatible with virtually all digital and film SLR's and comes with 5 distinct eyepiece adapters to work with Canon EOS, Nikon, Minolta, Sony Alpha, Leica, Pentax, Olympus and Fuji cameras.
