Steve P Posted May 2, 2014 Share #21 Â Posted May 2, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I came to use EVF when I started with my Ricoh GXR-M. It's not the best EVF by a long chalk but I adapted fairly quickly after shooting primarily with SLRs. It's certainly great for tweaking the exposure 'in real time' so to speak, but I do wonder if those who approach EVF from a rangefinder user's perspective, might be put off by the de facto loss of peripheral vision outside the edges of the frame that they had previously enjoyed? I imagine it might be disconcerting at first. My only rangefinder experience came when I had a Kiev 4 as a teenager.(Rough as a box of frogs it was too, only please don't tell those guys over on RFF. They just wouldn't understand!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonoslack Posted May 2, 2014 Share #22 Â Posted May 2, 2014 Putting aesthetics to one side for a moment, is it possible to mount an external OVF like, say, a SBOOI on the T or does the EVF/hotshoe physically prevent it? (I'm not interested for myself because I don't have an issue with EVFs - tools for the job - but it might help with Paul's dislike.)Â Pete. Â HI Pete How the devil are you? well I hope?

thighslapper Posted May 2, 2014 Share #23 Â Posted May 2, 2014 Yup...... if you are going to use fixed focal length lenses there are plenty of optical viewfinders you can stick on the T and still live in retro-land ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym911 Posted May 2, 2014 Share #25 Â Posted May 2, 2014 It's normal to dislike EVF when manufacturers begin to remember why SLR was appreciated then maybe we can expect progress in camera design and not this waste.. Btw love the idea of mirrorless but there was a reason for it :confused: Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
