Paul2660 Posted June 23, 2021 Share #2  Posted June 23, 2021 There are two styles sold by the Leica Store in Miami, as the one for the SL will apparently not fit the SL2 or SL2-s. This is one of only real issues with the Leica design, as I utilize a flip screen constantly in my outdoor photography.  The right Angle finders I have seen on so far only are optical and just flip the view up with mirrors.  It would be great if Leica came out with something like Fuji has for the GFX100, right angle finder that keeps the actual EVF view. I have moved to using a HDMI screen Atomos, (not the screen that records Video), via the HDMI port, with a small socket that fits into the flash port on the SL2.  This allows you to frame a shot, and see the screen being shown on the LCD of the camera.  The Atomos screen is 1000 nit and is plenty bright enough to view in direct sunlight. it's not perfect but at least allows you to get low or into positions where the LCD can't be viewed easily.  Paul  1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also go the DYI route  2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmendelson Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share #5 Â Posted June 27, 2021 Thanks all. Â After looking at the options I think using a shoe-mounted iPhone holder with my iPhone 12 and using Fotos would be the best solution for me - in fact I forgot I had such a holder in my my closet so I am set.
