Datsuke Posted September 24, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Anyone here have any experience using an external optical viewfinder for the Q? if so which one and would you recommend it? i was looking at the Ricoh GR viewfinder since its 28mm also. BTW I'm completely happy with EVF, but would be nice to switch it up and use an OVF once in a while. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin-Robert Posted September 24, 2015 Share #2 Posted September 24, 2015 I have a Voigtländer 28mm finder which works very well and looks beautiful too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuke Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted September 26, 2015 Do you have any pictures of it on the Q. I'd appreciate it if you could take some pictures and post it, as I'm sure others would also like to see! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2015 Share #5 Posted September 27, 2015 Do you have any pictures of it on the Q. I'd appreciate it if you could take some pictures and post it, as I'm sure others would also like to see! here you go, from an earlier post on another thread: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/246338-leica-q-firmware-request/page-7 The Voigtlander 28mm finder works great for me, I'm still more comfortable with an OVF than an EVF, especially for "street shooting". It's good to be able to see just outside the frame........But the drag is not being able to turn off the EVF or the LCD, ( or both ), when using a OVF. The EVF / LCD lack of function settings are still the biggest gripe I have with the Q and more choices on that are at the top of my firmware update wish list.

drherr Posted November 18, 2015 Share #6 Posted November 18, 2015 I was using Voigtlander 28mm OVF. Though it doesn't be positioned at the center of lens axis, it rarely matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
