...and if so where from please?
I'm in the UK, so presumably need to order from US or from Chamix directly?
contact hugo zhang here on the forum. best and only guy to deal with....
I've been wondering about these viewfinders, and am also interested in ordering one. Does anyone know if it's usability and build quality are worth the 300$??

I hear Hugo is great. I had good luck with Kerry Thalman (www.reallybigcameras.com) when I bought by camera.

I think Kerry mentioned that he had one in stock when I met him last week to pick up my Maple 4x5. I also bought my Feisol tripod and Photo Clam head from him.

Oops, I thought the question was about the reflex viewer! My mistake..

This is a comment I received from a previous thread that covers the reflex viewfinder:
'I bought a reflex viewer for my Chamonix when I 1st bought the camera 2 years ago. I used it once and never even pack it. Some day I'll sell it but I loose about 2 stops when I use it which is not acceptable to me. I did see a guy with a Toyo using a reflex viewer when I was in the Smokies last year. he said he used it religiously. But it doesn't fit my style. A loupe is small and easy. Now if you plan on NOT using a darkcloth, that's another matter alltogether.'
The thread is here http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?t=48869&page=2

Thanks Oris. I bought the Chamonix from Kerry so will get in touch with him.
