Little Lewy Posted April 7, 2012 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Halloa! Considering the inherent problems of seeing frame lines in RF cameras (particularly if using magnifiers etc. for focussing), can anyone suggest a method for checking the composition of a frame independently? Is there a device for checking the framing off the camera? I was thinking along the lines of a hand held viewfinder of some sort. Thanks for any suggestions.

wda Posted April 7, 2012 Share #2 Posted April 7, 2012 Welcome to the forum, Little Lewy! Framing accuracy is probably the most difficult handling operation on a rangefinder camera. With experience it is no problem provided you learn how framing changes with focus-settings. I do find the LCD most useful for confirming my framing. Anything critical deserves a retake, if necessary, given the chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted April 7, 2012 Share #3 Posted April 7, 2012 Is there a device for checking the framing off the camera? When you already have the cameras LCD screen and 'review' button to show exactly what is in the frame? Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted April 8, 2012 Share #5 Posted April 8, 2012 If desired you can use external viewfinders - they will have the same " zooning" effect with subject distance variations, however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
