Is the magnifier always at 2x or does it have a sliding switch for normal view?

Squier · 05-22-2009, 04:06 PM

Its always at 2x. Its also an adjustable diopter, + it can flip out of the way , as seen in the pics. It slots over the screen - you just take the rubber eyepiece off.

It flips up for a normal view. I have one of these on my K20D nearly full time, since it flips up out of the way, but provides unparalleled focusing accuracy with my APO Lanthars. Highly recommended.

Just a quick note to clarify: the photo in this thread does not show how the magnifier flips up over the hot shoe. It really does flip up out of the way.
