I'm still working my way through all the permutations of the P67 "system" (and spending way too much time on eBay
), so I'm looking for a little more feedback if you're willing.
Right now, what I'm envisioning is carrying a P67 along on my hikes in the Smoky Mountains, which for me means shooting both classic landscapes (waterfalls and the like) as well as wildflowers and whatever else piques my interest of a morning. If I'm working with a Manfrotto geared head and a Uni-loc tripod (because a man can never have too many knobs), do you think a waist level or rigid viewfinder would be a good option, even if I often shoot in portrait orientation? Since I'm nearsighted--the advent of Live View really made photography possible for me again--I'd be willing to give up TTL metering for a little magnification, if it didn't mean an inordinate amount of faffing about.
Any experience from the field greatly appreciated!
