h00ligan Posted August 26, 2010 Share #41 Posted August 26, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) This is a completely legitimate argument against an LCD... no way to dispute this. I actually like using an LCD... and on my X1 do so regularly. However, this is not a myth. In the bright summer light of NYC, there have a been several times where I cannot see the screen and HAVE to use the OVF. It really does happen and sunlight is different in different parts of the world. That's interesting, In the very bright AZ sun I have yet to find a position in which I can't see the screen (speaking of landscape) when wearing polarized Maui Jim glasses. When I go portrait I must take off the glasses but still have no issue. Maybe it's an issue of adapting.. or what one is used to? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phancj Posted August 26, 2010 Share #42 Posted August 26, 2010 Yup, I live in SE Asia where it is blazing summer practically all year round, and two months ago I was in New Delhi where temperatures are 43 degrees Celsius and fiery midday sun. At no time did I feel that my framing was compromised. Washed out colors, yes, but all the shapes ares till very distinct to allow for accurate composition.

NZDavid Posted August 26, 2010 Share #43 Posted August 26, 2010 Maybe it's an issue of adapting.. or what one is used to? Exactly. Just because one person doesn't have a problem doesn't mean the issue doesn't exist. Bright sunshine, backlighting, NZ bush -- I find the LCD hard to see. So does my wife, who has an eagle eye! Optical clip-on CV viewfinder is very good, though a large built-in one would be ideal. Biggest and brightest I have ever seen was an old Voigtländer Vito C, but Leica M is superb.

Well, as one who keeps saying he loves composing with an LCD, I don't have any reason to lie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
