Originally posted by WPRESTO Anyone who doesn't understand how coordinated motion helps should either try to work with students just learning to use a compound microscope in which everything is upside down and backwards, or take their first try with an astronomical telescope where, depending on the kind, everything is upside down, or reversed left to right, or both.
Orienting the camera using an indirect viewing path (into the eyepiece) has been a challenge since attachments were made for the viewfinder.
The most current Refconverter (Right Angle Finder), Refconverter-A, which is currently available on the Pentax.jp Products page, shows the viewfinder image correctly oriented. That is also true for the Refconverter-M and Refconverter-II (for K-series cameras). The original Refconverter showed the image vertically correct but laterally reversed.
Fixed LCD's took us back to the dark ages of viewfinder aids. I still don't quite have my head around how this LCD articulation differs from plain old flippy LCD's, but I guess I'll find out soon enough.
