Strmbrg Posted 4 hours ago Share #1  Posted 4 hours ago Advertisement (gone after registration) Do you use the display, external EVF, external OVF or just guess? I bought a 21mm lens and am not quite happy with either the display or the 020 EVF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jankap Posted 3 hours ago Share #2  Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Guessing is nonsense, of course. I use the LCD display for all my lenses, (from 15mm to 500mm). Some occasions with an OVF. My iPhone does not offer a rangefinder either.🫠Edited 3 hours ago by jankap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchyk Posted 2 hours ago Share #3 Â Posted 2 hours ago The answer is "yes"Â :) Though mostly shooting film cameras these days. When the subject is static I use an external OVF with the 21mm. But in a highly dynamic situation on the street there is often no time for a peek even. Other cases where I'm hesitant to use a viewfinder is to avoid drawing attention and affecting the subject by my presence more than necessary. I find that putting a camera to my face tends to "break the stealth" much more often than doing otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernstk Posted 2 hours ago Share #4 Â Posted 2 hours ago I use a 21mm Elmarit on my M-P 240. I don't bother with an external viewfinder. You can learn quite quickly to guess what the field of view is with surprising accuracy. Ernst 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted 2 hours ago Share #5 Â Posted 2 hours ago I use the 21mm VF with my 21mm Elmarit-M. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn Posted 36 minutes ago Share #6  Posted 36 minutes ago (edited) on closeups I just guess. Architecture: I typically use the evf or screen to get the line accurate. Architecture used to be quite stationary, somthere is plenty of time. On a Laizy-Daisy day I guess an clean the lines in post.  Edited 36 minutes ago by Thorfinn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujk Posted 34 minutes ago Share #7 Â Posted 34 minutes ago Advertisement (gone after registration) I purchased the external EVF (Viso 020) with the intention to use it with the 21 SEM. In practice I have found it often more convenient to do initial framing, focusing and checking of exposure using the OVF and then final framing using the LCD.
