Firesuite Posted October 19, 2010 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi All, Ive been lurking on here a while and have recently purchased a X1 after much research, normally shoot with Canon DSLR's and wanted something smaller for the times when i cont want to carry lots of heavy glass around, Loving it so far, havent had a chance to really get out and use it yet, weathers been a little bad but hopefully soone. I also purchased a Voigtlander 35mm OVF for my new camera and I think mine is faulty, can anyone who has one please tell me if one of the elements inside should be rotated slightly from the rest of the eyepiece ? If i look through mine from any distance i can see a middle element of glass that creates a kind of shadow/frame around the bright lines when up close, its hard to explain, but mine appears to be 20 degrees rotated from the bright lines, so whenever i look through it before taking a shot, this angled piece casts a shadow over two corners of the bright lines, anyone else have this or is it just me ?? Thanks and sorry for going on too long Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorismichielsen Posted October 19, 2010 Share #2 Posted October 19, 2010 Welcome Firesuite, Once I also was carrying lots of heavy Canon glass around, but since I bought the X1 my DSRL stays home. Considering IQ and color it easily beats the Canon L glass. I can not answer your question, because I am using the Leica VF, but I wanted to suggest you to start a new topic with the problem mentioned in your title. I think this will be more effective in attracting the attention of Voigtlander VF users. greetz and enjoy your camera with or without VF!

wda Posted October 19, 2010 Share #5 Posted October 19, 2010 Firesuite, welcome to the Forum! I have the LEica VF and no problems with that. If yours is faulty, I would return it swiftly to the dealer. Wishing you many happy successful hours of pleasure with your X1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
