    Re: Optical viewfinder hunt

    Yes I ordered it, the reason I like it is because it covers the two lenses I have, 90 & 210mm and is small.

    Looking at buying a new Ebony folding 5x4 (lucky me) and was in two minds if it's worth paying the extra for the U version with asymmetrical tilts & swings? As I have never used them.
