| Pros: | Excellent concept | | Cons: | Would be nice if they had put a hot shoe on it, like Canon did with theirs. | |
This is a great concept. The design means that it overhangs the back of the camera and affects balance, but I can't see a way around that to get the functionality. Easily accepts and tightly retains the finders. I also like the F-stop numbers underneath the finder image.

Once it was attached, it stayed attached.

| Pros: | Nice to have around | | Cons: | little bulky | |
From this you have three choices. It can be an indispensable item to have. Teamed with the FC-1, it is very useful tool. I've been trying out different angles and such with little to no strain on the neck.

| Pros: | Flexible use with different attachments, aperture readout placed under the image not above | | Cons: | none | |
I simply like this finder. It is quite big and does not balance too well on the camera but I guess most use it gets is when the camera is on a tripod anyway.
For me the biggest advantage is using it with the FC-1 finder which is sort of a high eyepoint finder. Very versatile combo.
The second thing I like about it very much is that the aperture readout is placed under the image not above that which for me at least comes much more natural than looking up in the finder to see the set apertures. (Most modern SLRs and DSLRs have all their info screens placed under or on the side of the viewfinder image, not above).

| Pros: | Essential for the mounting of other viewfinders | | Cons: | None | |
Not much to say except it's needed to be able to use the Action Eyepiece.
