| Pros: | Diopter correction built-in, magnifier, shows everything, very lightweight | | Cons: | Kind of limits you to shooting landscape mode, laterally reversed | |
This viewfinder is a terrific solution for those who are trying to put their Pentax 6x7, Pentax 67, or Pentax 67II body on a diet, so to speak. The weight savings over an ordinary prism finder feels huge. Speaking of huge, the fact that the finder shows the whole focus screen -- and does so with magnification -- means you will love composing your shots (once you get used to the laterally reversed image). And that you can easily dial up your diopter correction, if needed, is a terrific benefit. Obviously there is a price to pay for all of that, and that is that you are more or less limited to shooting things in landscape mode. That said, the huge benefits of wight savings, magnification, and diopter correction far outweigh that, in my opinion.
